Post #7060910

I had a huge tree taken out of the backyard.Its enclosed with a chain link fence.The dead end street to the west ends at my fence.Without the tree there I am affraid someone will drive thru the fence now.So I am planting a hedge row of Emerald green arborvitaes along the fence on the inside of the yard. I have 17 of them.

My question is this.

Should I plant them in a straight row or stagger them zigzag style. either way they will be spaced to get a complete screen in a couple of seasons.

The rest of the yard is going to be a dwarf conifer garden and shrub collection.
