After a 2 minute Google, Craigmore Trees in Co Armagh should be able to supply (if I remember rightly you're in NI). Bare root are a fraction of the garden centre ripoff prices and generally grown by people who know exactly what they are doing.
ColinTheBald-
That's the one I found as well, Armagh is a bit of a drive but I will keep them in mind.
There is a Belfast garden center that does a potted pear tree for £29, haven't rang Craigmore yet.
Now to plan&source the hedges... there will not be any Leylandii involved :p
But it may be hard to get some hedges here, cannot get them from GB anymore (thanks Brexshit) so may end up with a sensible & easy to source hawthorn/alder/buckthorn/hazel/cottoneaster/holly hedge.

I don't think I'll ever grow salad though, nature taking care of that here means "did you know common garden snails are edible as your salad has been recycled into them? ;)
