I never thought the day would come when I would be watching gardening videos and getting really excited. This is wonderful! You hit on so many of the exact features I'm looking for in a privacy hedge. I'm new to this world but I love what I'm learning.

One thing I wish I knew about arborvitae is that deer LOVE to eat them. We bought 30 at our last house and with 3-4 years the deer had eaten them bare up to about 5 feet. We love the look bit we will never use them for landscaping again in New England

Absolutely gorgeous, like a mini paradise. Well done!!☮️

Seems like it would have been a good idea to mention what zones that cedar grows in best and what zones it won't grow in at all. Maybe even mention what kind of soil I likes.

We were thinking of what to add to our bare fence and my wife across your video. You've inspired her to go this route. She loves the way it looks.

In CT and NY, arborvitae is a delicacy for deer. Once the deer discover it, they devour the lower four feet of each tree. The same is true with azaleas and some rhododendrons and hostas. It’s too bad, because they are all good looking plants and shrubs.

If you want a faster growing hedge (3 years) look into cold hardy clumping bamboo. It’s also an evergreen and produces the same results in a shorter time.

I'm here because the video is 4:20 and about trees.

May 15 Dara....i followed all your planting tips to the T when I planted 20 Arborvitae Thujas along my neighbors fence. I did space them 3 feet apart which I read is industry standard, plus because of the cost here in south Florida. I can't wait until a year from now...Lou

Where I live we have a native cedar. They come up in my yard all the time and I usually pull them up, but since removing several large growth Pampas Grass plants I am going to transplant some of these cedars as replacements. This is in a narrow space between my fence and the street.

Beautiful look, great ideas and tips!!

Oooohhh so glad I found your channel! Sooo beautiful and great explanation! 🌲🌲🌲💚💚💚

I planted 6’ tall Arborvitae’s on each side of my house along the property lines. That was 30 years ago and I made a big mistake by never trimming them. They are now at least 20 feet tall and the heavy, wet snow has broken the tops off of several of them. I have enjoyed the privacy but if you decide to plant them, don’t make the mistake I made. Keep them trimmed.

Thank you for the great video. We made a pool in the backyard and our intention was to grow hedges. We already have a 6ft tall wood fence but we like to increase privacy. After a lot of researches, we find out that we invite more mosquitos and bugs in our backyard. My friend says rather close the pool if you go with hedges. Now, it's been past 1 year and we still haven't figure out how to manage to add to our privacy. I see that the is a seating area in your backyard. How is your experience in this matter? Any help would be appreciated.

[MinionAtTheGate]

Your hedges look great. Thanks for sharing. It's my understanding though that the White Cedars have a slow growth rate, not really, really fast like you said.

[internationaltraveler]

😇 very helpful and clear, bought a house with a love privacy fence and was sure how I should maintain it thanks

[LisaLoberg]

Hi Daru, love the video - so informative and lovely hedges you have! We bought a house last year that has many of these - the more informal I would say and they have grown wild. I would like to trim them back, but I'm afraid once I do all that will be left is the brown dead looking inside. There are 2 of these on either side of our front porch and they are overtaking the porch. Too wide and too tall and my husband is afraid I will kill them if I trim them back like I would like to. Thanks in advance, I will 100% be following you from now on!!! This yard is OUT of control!!

What is the fastest growing evergreen for privacy. I need something bad between our house and a highway recently widend

[darkshadowsx]

i have about 10 dead trees in my front lawn that died shortly after being planted. probably from a bad heat wave and little water.
this hedge tree would be a great replacement. the low maintenance aspect is perfect.
