“The beech hedge was absolutely perfect – you can’t get immediate results like this any other way.”

This beech hedge was planted for privacy and immediately provided effective screening even at 4' tall.
The beech hedge was a perfect fit for the Colonial Style residence near Boston.
This client has small children and a play area in the back yard. They needed a border to secure the yard and provide privacy for their family.
First, they broke up the sod to loosen the soil and make digging easier.
The sod has all been broken up and is ready for digging.
For a fairly short hedge, digging a trench by hand is easy and very doable.
Immediately after installation, the hedge provides privacy and a beautiful border.
The following May, the hedge flushed out with gorgeous color and no losses.
One year after installation, the hedge is taller and fuller. The client is very pleased!
