Fairhill's Plant Matchmaking Service

Find the right hedging & screening plant for you

Our Plant Matchmaking Service pairs you with the right hedge, screen or privacy plant for your height, space and light.

Start the screening quiz

The Hedging, Screening & Privacy Finder is part of Fairhill's Plant Matchmaking Service— answer a few quick questions and we'll pair you with the plant we grow that best blocks a view, softens a fence or shelters a garden.

A good screen is all about getting the height, speed and density right for your spot. This finder draws on two of the best screening groups we grow: our non-invasive clumping bamboo — the fastest, densest privacy screen there is, and never the aggressive running kind — and our range of hardy native screens, from psyllid-resistant lilly pillies and fragrant lemon myrtle to native hibiscus and grafted grevillea.

Almost everything here can be clipped to a formal hedge or left to grow as a relaxed screen — tell the finder how tall you need it, how fast you want it to fill in, and how much sun the spot gets, and we'll narrow it down. Then come and walk the rows with us in person.
