Arborvitae are a beautiful way to add privacy, structure & year-round greenery to your landscape. Their dense evergreen foliage creates a natural living screen that can help define your space, block unwanted views & make your backyard feel more secluded and inviting. Plus, unlike a fence, your privacy screen grows right along with your landscape!
Before you plant, take a few minutes to plan for the future. Consider where you need screening, how tall you want it to be, and the mature height and width of your arborvitae, or other hedge plants. Check your sunlight, drainage, soil, nearby trees and roots, property lines, and overhead or underground utilities. Give each plant enough room to reach its mature size, and consider a staggered layout for a fuller, layered screen. A little planning now means a healthier, better-looking hedge later!
