Start With the Proper Tree Species<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The most important factor that will make or break your tree\nhedge is the tree species you choose. To choose the proper tree species for the\nproject, you must consider both the growing condition of the site as well as the\npurpose your hedge is intended to serve. Deciduous tree species will grow differently,\nand offer different functions. For instance, if you want year-round privacy\naround your backyard firepit, you\u2019ll need an evergreen tree that has thick\nfoliage from root to tip. If you want an effective windbreaker, choose tall-growing\ndeciduous or conifer tree species. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Choose the Right Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As for the growing site, not only must it have good soil\nconditions, sufficient sunlight, and proper water drainage, it must also have\nenough space for the trees to grow to maturity. Compared to shrubs, trees\nrequire much more room to grow in hedge form. If you are using conifers to provide\na tall screen, they should be spread around 6 feet apart, and trimmed infrequently.\nIf you are not planning on trimming the hedge fence, you will need to spread\nthem even farther apart. If you want a thicker fence, plant a double row of\ntrees. Keep in mind that your tree fence will look sparse for several years, as\nit will take some time for the foliage to thicken up and widen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
