The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Thuja occidentalis 'Techny'
Choose Techny Arborvitae for a dense, prunable green hedge or screen where a tidy look matters. The tradeoff: it needs shaping and smart placement, and deer can be a real problem.
Buy This If
- You want a dense green hedge.
- You can water while it establishes.
- You plan to prune for shape.
Skip This If
- Deer feed in that area.
- You want a natural, open look.
- The site dries out fast.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives a clean, solid evergreen backdrop, but it is more practical than showy. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a useful pace without becoming hard to manage right away. |
| Maintenance | B- | It takes pruning well, but a neat hedge still needs regular attention. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer readily browse and rub young trees like this, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B | It can work in tighter areas if you are committed to pruning. |
| Screening Value | A- | Its dense branching makes it a strong choice for privacy and wind buffering. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Techny when the goal is a formal hedge and the site can be watered during establishment. If deer are common, ask us about placement or choose Virescens Red Cedar instead.
