Evergreens are nice choices for privacy screens since they add cover and color year-round.
You may want to create a nice look for both you and your family to enjoy quiet evenings outside your house. Or maybe you just don’t want your nosy neighbors to always see your backyard when you’re trying to enjoy the space. Either way, a privacy screen could give your home landscape much-needed seclusion, as well as some additional greenery. Evergreens are nice choices for privacy screens since they add cover and color year-round. Buying the right amount of trees or plants at once to help ensure a correct screen design could make a big difference in creating a long-lasting or low-maintenance hedge. When planting your green screen, you’ve got two choices: a straight line or a staggered line. Read on to learn more!
Eastern White Pipe
This best evergreen for privacy could grow 50 to 80 feet tall and around 20 to 40 feet wide. It enjoys full to partial sun and well-drained, moist, acidic soil where it could make a great windbreak and shade tree. It is not great with compacted clay soils. Bearing around five needles to a bunch, the Eastern white pine branches and pinecones are usually used as holiday decorations.
Norway Spruce
The Norway spruce is a low-maintenance evergreen to plant if you want graceful, strong branches covered in dark green needles! As an ideal windbreaker, this type of tree matures at 60 feet and also has a 25-foot spread. It enjoys full sun and well-drained soil. One of the quicker-growing spruces, the Norway spruce, is very easy to transplant and grows in a pleasing, pyramidal form. These trees are natural-looking, low-maintenance, and also disease-resistant!
Arborvitae
Green giant arborvitae is a large, quick-growing evergreen used for privacy that comes in naturally thin pyramidal forms, which boast dense and rich foliage. These trees make for great screens, hedges for wind blocks, and some seclusion. They’re able to grow up to 50 to 60 feet in height with around a 12 to 20 foot spread. Give this tree full to a partial amount of sun, and make sure to avoid any poorly drained or wet spaces near it.
