Privacy Trees

Looking for privacy trees to block out your neighbor?  Our privacy trees are the perfect solution!  Instead of building that ugly privacy fence out of wood or plastic, plant a living fence of trees.

Privacy trees can also add value to your home.  When it comes time to sell your home, the future buyers will love that they can enjoy their new backyard without the entire neighborhood looking in.  

Some Great Ideas for Privacy Trees

We believe that we have some of the best privacy trees available to purchase online.  Here are a few of the specific privacy trees available through The Planting Tree:

Blue Point Juniper - Are you looking for a blue-green colorful privacy hedge?  If so, the Blue Point Juniper is just what you are looking for!  Its blue foliage pulls the reds, pinks, and yellows out from the landscape with its perfect contrast.

Cryptomeria Radicans -This hardy privacy tree offers fragrant, feathery foliage. The Cryptomeria Radicans is low maintenance, deer resistant, versatile, and extremely adaptable.

Emerald Arborvitae - Great for a narrow area. Emerald Green Arborvitae can be planted in tighter areas to form a fence.  These evergreen privacy trees are slower growing, but a much more manageable size compared to the Thuja Green Giant and Leyland Cypress Trees.  Emerald Arborvitaes have rich texture and color.

Leyland Cypress Trees - They also get big fast!  Our Leyland Cypress is also a great choice for privacy.  It has darker foliage than the Green Giant and is stiffer in form.  Plant a group of these and watch them grow.  In 2-3 years, they will provide the privacy that you are looking for.

Nellie Stevens Holly - If you're looking for a darker green evergreen tree, Holly Trees work very well.  They are compact and will fill out in an area if you just let them grow.  Plant your Holly Trees 6-12 feet apart.  They will fill in and block off an area for privacy.  

Sapphire Cypress - The Blue Sapphire Cypress or Carolina Cypress is extremely heat and drought tolerant and deer resistant. This privacy tree offers a unique look, lovely scent, and great color!

Sky Pencil Holly - Need to screen an area for your garbage containers or an area that is a tight squeeze?  The Sky Pencil Holly is the perfect fit.  You will need to plant about 1-2 feet apart to build a screen.  As far as maintenance, just trim the tops at your desired height.  

Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae - They get big fast!  The Green Giant is the most popular selling evergreen today.  This fast-growing privacy tree can grow over 3 feet per year and it is very forgiving.  

Wax Myrtle Trees - These privacy trees are great for making a hedge.  If you are looking for a large and tall hedge, wax myrtles are the answer.  They are very fast growers that will give you privacy within 2 years.  Plant your wax myrtles about 3-6 feet apart near your property line.  Year after year, keep the sides tidy and lightly prune the tops and you will have a nice privacy hedge.
