Steps for Choosing Hedges

Map the Area: Take a detailed look at where you plan to plant your living fence. Outline the actual length, width, and height of this area. Variable factors can determine Fence height, such as existing electrical lines, telephone poles, and the desired screening potentials. Property lines and available space can determine the width.

Explore Hedge Options: Decide your base desire for a living fence by the types of shrubs, hedges, or trees you wish to use. Flowering shrubs and trees provide a colorful display in the spring, summer, and fall but will not offer yearlong privacy; they will lose their leaves during winter. Evergreen trees and shrubs will maintain an annual screen and be chosen by varied growing heights and widths. Some hedges will provide a complete privacy screen and grow to several feet tall, while others can be maintained at variable heights. Hedges will also need various nutrients and growing conditions. It is best to identify your growing zone, considering the shrubs or trees you desire.

It is a kind of a perennial shrub which can grow small or tall. It consists of oval shaped small leaves which are dark green in color at the top and yellow at the bottom. This plant flowers white scented flowers in the early days of summer. It does not require much care and maintenance.

Outline a Planting Guide: Once you have chosen the proper hedge or tree for your living fence, it is wise to measure and mark the area. For Example, once you have chosen the measured area, you can mark where each shrub will be placed with bright spray paint. That will allow you to keep the line of the shrubs true and a better idea of exactly how many shrubs to purchase.

Privacy hedges make great living fences, and the varieties of shrubs, hedges, trees, and bushes available can make your fence unique. Living fences complement the landscape, provide privacy, and provide a natural element, providing a green living environment.
