Privacy Hedge Planting

What This Service Involves

A living hedge offers year-round privacy, wind buffering, and noise reduction that a fence simply cannot match. We recommend evergreen screens such as emerald green arborvitae, Portuguese laurel, or western red cedar, all of which thrive in our damp maritime climate. Proper spacing is critical, so we calculate mature width to give you a solid green wall without overcrowding that invites disease. Each hedge is planted in amended soil, mulched, and set up on a watering plan that carries the young plants through their first dry Northwest summer.
