Base Layer

Evergreens create the privacy. This is your foundation.

Emerald Green Arborvitae and Green Giants form the backbone of your privacy line—giving you immediate screening and year-round coverage.

Most people stop here… and end up with a flat wall of green.

Start with the right base, then build it into something better.

Arborvitae

Height Layer

Add height and break the wall of green.

Redpointes and other accent trees (such as Shade or Ornamental Trees) create the second layer of the privacy system—adding vertical interest, seasonal color, and a more finished look over time.

This is what turns a basic hedge into a designed landscape.

Trees

Finish Layer

This is what makes it look finished.

Hydrangeas soften the base and complete the bed.

Without this layer, it’s just a screen.
