Our Privacy Screening Services

Evergreen screen rows

Arborvitae, cryptomeria, holly, and similar material spaced for full closure.

Layered mixed screens

Staggered plantings that look natural and survive better than a single-species row.

Fast-growing options

Selections balancing speed with long-term health for the site.

Screening with hardscape

Combining planting with walls, pergolas, or panels where space is tight.

Bed preparation & irrigation

Amended beds and drip lines so a long row establishes evenly.

Deer-resistant selections

Species chosen for wooded lots with heavy browsing pressure.

Privacy Screening for Lake Norman Properties

  • Deer browsing eliminates several popular screen plants in Denver and Davidson.
  • Clay soils and poor drainage kill arborvitae fast — bed prep and grading come first.
  • HOA rules in Lake Norman neighborhoods often restrict fencing but allow planted screens.

Privacy Screening FAQs

How fast will it fill in?

Depending on species and starting size, meaningful screening typically takes two to four growing seasons.

How far apart should screen plants go?

Spacing follows mature width — crowding a row causes dieback in the interior.

Can you screen a second-story view?

Yes, with taller material and layered placement, though it takes longer to achieve.
