Emerald Green Arborvitae Row Installed for Backyard Privacy

A lot of homeowners want privacy in their backyard but aren't sure what the best solution is. Fences are one option, but they're not for everyone. A natural living screen is often a better fit - and Emerald Green Arborvitaes are one of the best plants you can use for that.

We just finished installing a full row of them for a client who wanted to block out the neighboring view and create a more private, comfortable outdoor space. These trees are planted in a clean, straight line along the property edge, giving the yard an immediate sense of enclosure even before they've fully filled in.

Here's what makes Emerald Greens such a smart choice. They stay green year-round, they grow in a tight columnar shape, and they don't require a ton of maintenance once they're established. Over time, they'll knit together into a dense, lush wall of green that no fence can match for natural beauty.

The install also included irrigation setup - you can see the drip lines going in alongside the trees. That's not something we skip. Getting water to the root zone consistently is what separates trees that thrive from trees that struggle through their first season. We set our clients up for long-term success, not just a good-looking install on day one.

If you've been thinking about adding privacy to your yard, a well-planned plant design and installation like this is worth serious consideration. The results speak for themselves - and they only get better with time.
