Popular Screening Plants Harry Recommends:
🌲 Green Giant Arborvitae - Gets very tall and wide, full sun required
🌿 Chindo Viburnum - Nearly bulletproof, tolerates low light conditions
🍃 Osmanthus Tea Olive - Works well in less sun
🌺 Loropetalum - Reaches 6-7ft, provides color interest, needs full sun
🌳 Southern Magnolia - Excellent backdrop plant with flowering interest
Layering for Maximum Effect:
Create depth by planting larger backdrop plants (Green Giant, Southern Magnolia, Chindo Viburnum) with smaller plants in front (Loropetalum). This approach gives you:
Varied textures and visual interest
Flowering plants for seasonal color
More complete privacy coverage
Habitat for birds and pollinators
Site Considerations:
Full Sun Plants: Green Giant Arborvitae, Loropetalum
Shade Tolerant: Osmanthus Tea Olive, Chindo Viburnum
Versatile: Chindo Viburnum grows in full sun OR low light conditions
Match your plant selection to your specific site conditions for long-term success.
Critical Planting Tips for Our Region:
Our native Piedmont clay soil requires proper installation for screening plant success:
Dig a LARGE hole (proper hole size is crucial)
Add plenty of amendments: soil conditioner and cow manure
Use BioTone root starter fertilizer at planting
Don't plant too deep (see our planting guide)
Proper installation = long-term success
DIY or Professional Installation:
DIY Option: We'll provide planting guides, recommend how many amendment bags you need based on plant count, and give expert advice on proper spacing.
Installation Service: When we install, we use soil conditioner, cow manure, and BioTone starter fertilizer. Includes full one-year, one-time replacement warranty on all installed plants.
One Two Tree Service: Make an appointment to meet with our gardeners who'll walk you through the entire process, whether DIY or professional installation.

Benefits Beyond Privacy:
Screening plants create more than visual barriers—they provide:
🦅 Nesting habitat and roosting areas for birds
🐝 Flowering plants for pollinators
🏡 Your own secluded outdoor retreat
🌳 A peaceful space without going inside
🌿 Connection to nature in your backyard
Harry's perspective: "Without screening privacy, you feel like you're part of the bigger scheme of the neighborhood. Sometimes it's nice just to retreat into your own secluded spot."
