Hedges are great additions to your yard and useful for a number of reasons! They help reduce noise from roads, nearby parks, and loud neighbors. They block the view of two story homes around you. They also make incredible wind barriers and some of the larger ones can offer several feet of thick shade for your yard. Outside of their amazing practical uses, they also make classic looking property borders and impressive entryways when planted to lead up to your front door.
No matter what your reason is for considering adding hedges to your yard, I think we can all agree that they always look amazing, aesthetically enhance any outdoor space, and increase the value of the property. How could you resist your very own living wall?!

Native to the Southern region of the United States, the Carolina Cherry has become a popular choice when customers are looking for a hedge for their yard with a classic appeal. This hedge is great due to its minimal maintenance, natural vertical conical shape, and ability to tolerate heat, drought, and wind.
The Carolina Cherry is a small to medium-sized evergreen with dark green, shimmering wavy-edged foliage on brown thorn less stems. They can be easily sheared into a tall screen or sound barrier which make them a near-perfect option for many homes looking for privacy.
The Japanese Blueberry is a visually appealing evergreen due to its dense, lush foliage and striking leaf color throughout the year which provides an amazing backdrop for any contrasting flowers and shrubs planted nearby. It thrives in full sun and can handle the cold extremely well. It has become one of the Southwest’s most planted hedge variety and is an excellent choice for just about any landscape style.
The best part about this hedge is how quickly it can grow within the first two years. It can grow as high as 10 feet tall and then it slows down a bit more each year, which helps the overall maintenance through the many years you have to enjoy this hedge.
The Japanese Privet is an ideal choice for anybody who is looking for an evergreen, low maintenance shrub that is perfect for creating a living wall in your yard. This amazing hedge option grows quickly, which will help keep your hedge dense with foliage all year long. It grows oval-shaped shiny green leaves that have a leathery feel to them. The Japanese Privet produces small flowers in the late spring season that offers a temporary pop of color to your landscape. This shrub does well in our hot months and prefers partial to full sun.
This hedge shrub is often used for formal entrances, borders, and backdrops due to its impressive and unique look. The Italian Cypress is unmistakable with its lush green foliage and tall narrow vertical form. Italian Cypress thrive in sunny climates with minimal water, which makes them a popular choice for just about any landscape, especially when designing a water-wise landscape. These long-lived specimens of splendor are well suited to modern and Mediterranean designs. A big perk is how little space they take up in your yard and yet how big of an impact they make on your landscape.
