Philip · Answer

This is easy enough to do your self dig hole if it’s potted put straight into hole then cover with soil and keep doing this all the way down your hedge line if it’s bare rooted I would dig some compost into the soil before filling the hole. And place every plant at about 100cm gaps if it’s privet hedge I would double the plants and lay 2 rows and on second row place in middle of gaps

It's quite simple dig a hole the size of the plant pot

Depending on the size of the hedge or tree plant it away from fence an sheds an house as the roots will spread dig the hole about 2foot deep so you can be sure you got a firm base for it an won't fall over keep it well watered once planted

Louise · Answer

Depending on where it is 
In your boundaries possibly not 
Most are dug as a trench and filled with gaps as premature hedge for future growth 
Fairly easy for anyone to try 
Just be mindfull of what roots could do to your surrounding areas
