Our team can work with you on any budget in order to provide you with a cost-effective privacy planting solution that meets your needs.
Can I Do My Own Privacy Plantings?
DIY projects can be a great way to broaden your skill set, but this is a project we don’t recommend for weekend warriors. The largest reasons include the fact that privacy planting is best done with accurate measurements and because the initial planting and care of your privacy softscape features are very important.
A good planting results in years of healthy and gorgeous privacy foliage, while mistakes can lead to wasted money and time. Additionally, professional landscaping companies like ours have access to a wider variety of plants and can get them at lower rates through our network of vendors. That means hiring a professional can save you money, time, and stress.
Are There Benefits to Privacy Plantings?
There are many advantages to choosing privacy plantings over fencing or other privacy options. Planting to get your privacy is eco-friendly, which helps to lower your carbon footprint. Additionally, privacy plants are exceptionally customizable and are easier to alter if you decide you would like to make some changes. Plantings are also frequently more cost-effective than fencing and are often considered far more attractive than wood planks or PVC.
How Do I Get My Privacy Plants To Be Thicker?
Many species of shrubs will thicken more rapidly if they are pruned correctly while they are young. This is true for many plants, including holly shrubs and most flowering shrubs. This pruning is best done when the plants are in their first year; however, pruning must be done with care! If you’re not confident in your ability to help the plant along rather than hurt it, you may be best served leaving this up to a professional Charlotte, NC, landscaping company.
