Our Farm

InstantHedge is located in Canby, Oregon on an 80+ acre farm with a breathtaking view of Mt.Hood. We have over 50 miles of hedges in production. Our production team prioritizes efficient and earth friendly practices, including using drip irrigation on all of our fields to conserve water and promote healthy growth.

We are participants in the Oregon Boxwood Blight Cleanliness Program and are certified to ship boxwood throughout the United States. We do all of our own propagation to ensure the highest quality possible from the very beginning. Our patented equipment allows us to continue that dedication to quality throughout the lives of our hedges.

Brent Markus – Founder

Brent Markus founded InstantHedge in 2012. Brent’s passion for landscape design and horticulture began when he was a teenager, exploring the Chicago Botanic Garden on weekends and designing his family’s garden with four-season color and unique conifers. Since then, Brent’s landscape designs have been featured in Better Homes and Gardens, Fine Gardening, and Garden Conservancy Open Days.

Brent studied landscape architecture at Cornell University and received a Master’s degree in Horticulture, also from Cornell. While studying and researching plant hardiness at Cornell, Brent’s passion expanded from landscape design to plant propagation and the nursery industry. Brent opened his first tree nursery, Rare Tree Nursery, in Oregon, where he specializes in growing and distributing unique, ornamental conifers and maples to garden centers and landscapers throughout the United States. A related direct-to-consumer nursery, Conifer Kingdom, was launched in 2012.

MAKING THE DREAM A REALITY

Brent started InstantHedge to bring the benefits of precision agriculture techniques to the U.S. landscape market. Traditionally, installing a clean looking, square hedge has required years of waiting and work or a tremendous amount of money to purchase mature trees. With InstantHedge, however, the privacy and finished look of a hedge border is achieved in a single day, instead of 4-5 years.

The inspiration for InstantHedge came from a nursery in the Netherlands that Brent visited in 2012. Since then, he patented technologies and planted more than 500,000 trees to create beautiful, lush, pre-formed hedges. InstantHedge is the only nursery in the country to employ this revolutionary concept and proprietary technology. Instead of growing and planting individual shrubs and trees for hedges, InstantHedge creates and sells hedges as a group or unit of four plants held together by having been grown, pruned, and harvested side-by-side as they will be in the final landscape. InstantHedges are shipped in an easy-to-use cardboard frame ready to be planted for instant privacy or aesthetic effect.
