For instant privacy, pick out larger trees and stagger your trees by planting 2 rows. For something like Thuja Green Giant or Leyland Cypress plan for about 6 to 8 feet between trees on the diagonal. This will leave you with about 6 to 10 feet of space between each tree within the rows and the rows will be approximately 4 to 6 feet apart.
Small (6 to 10 feet)
Medium (10 to 20 feet)
Large (Over 20 feet)
Yes there are many plants for privacy that are deer resistant or deer tolerant. Radicans Cryptomeria, Needlepoint Holly, Heavenly Bamboo Nandina, Wavy Leaf Ligustrum, Howardi Ligustrum, Wax Myrtle, Cedar Deodar, Mugo Pine, Colorado Blue Spruce, Japanese Plum Yew, and American Boxwood are all considered highly deer resistant. Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae, Sapphire Cypress, Blue Point Juniper, and Oakland Holly have deer resistance as well.
Privacy trees less than 2 feet start out under $15. Larger sizes cost more, but are still much more economical than a privacy fence. If you are patient and don’t mind starting with smaller sizers and can DIY, you can save a ton of money on your privacy hedge!
