Emerald Green Arborvitae Privacy Screen Planted and Ready to Grow

Some properties just need a natural barrier. Whether it's a neighbor's yard that's a little too close, an open field with no definition, or a view you'd rather not look at - a row of well-planted trees can solve all of that in one shot.

Emerald Green Arborvitaes are our go-to for this kind of work. They stay dense and green all year, they grow into a tight, uniform hedge over time, and they just look clean. No seasonal gaps, no bare patches in winter. Once they're established, they pretty much take care of themselves.

Here's what the process actually looks like. We brought in a skid steer with an auger attachment to drill each hole - consistent depth, consistent spacing, done right. That kind of precision matters more than most people realize. Plant them too close and they crowd each other out. Too far apart and you lose the screening effect. We line them up and get it right the first time.

Once each tree is set and backfilled, you've already got the structure of a privacy screen. These aren't small starter plants - they go in with real size and presence. As they continue to fill in, that row becomes a wall of green that frames the property and adds serious curb appeal.

If you've been putting off adding privacy or just want to upgrade the look of your yard with something low-maintenance and long-lasting, Emerald Greens are hard to beat. We serve Burlington, Gibsonville, Elon, Stokesdale, Oak Ridge, and the surrounding area.
