cedar hinged privacy screen -help w/ install!
Comments (1)Will it be over concrete, soil, or rock/gravel?...See MorePrivacy screening, help
Comments (10)I love discussing anything to do with landscape, as I studied Landscape Architecture before I graduated with a degree in Interior Design. I would suggest the following to be planted about two - four feet below your fence line for space to grow: Hopseed (grows fast and tall, easy to trim if needed, but can grow without trimming.) Photinia (beautiful red new foilage yearly, needs more trimming than Hopseed) Bay Laurel (beautiful, but not super fast growing. Could start with bigger plants, but costly) Wax Leaf Privet If you're really creative, you could mix hopseed and laurel or privet. Below is a client's pool, with a wax leaf privet we installed, and added bird of paradise and other plants. This has really given my client privacy from neighbors when they are enjoying their pool. I hope this helps with your decision making process. All the best to you!...See MoreInterior privacy screens, please help!

Comments (3)I live in So Cal also ( beach ), the marina near our house lined the perimeter of the parking lot with Ficus Nitida a few years ago. It’ grown into a beatiful hedge approximately 10’+ highl ( they trim the tops). i like them-so much I l am planning on having some planted along a wall in my backyard. They were planted about 2’ apart 5 gal size. They have them at most nurseries including HD. PS Is that a raised planter?...See Moremelle_sacto is hot and dry in CA Zone 9/
