Founded in 2020 with approximately 6 employees, the company's core catalogue spans five categories: hedging (individual plants, pre-formed Elements, ready-made Screens, one-meter Instant Hedging Units, and themed Mixed Hedging Packs such as Bee Friendly, Horse & Livestock, and Native packs), trees (Full Standard, Pleached, Umbrella, and Palm varieties), an extensive topiary collection (Balls, Cones, Spirals, Domes, Pyramids, Pom-Poms, Lollipops, Archways, Cubes, Cylinders, and additional forms), supplementary plants (Grasses, Ferns, Climbers), and accessories (stakes, ties, composts, custom pleach frames). A professional Planting Service is also offered for installation projects.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce with a B2B trade account program that provides landscaping, gardening, and property development professionals a 25% discount, free nationwide delivery, and no minimum order value. Pricing is built on unit economics with tiered volume discounts ranging from 5% (3–5 items) to 25% (25+ items), plus a 10% first-order incentive for email signups.

The company is a privately held UK private limited company with no disclosed external investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no regulatory actions or leadership changes on record.
