This homeowner needed to spruce up a flower bed near the back patio, but also needed some plants that would eventually create a privacy barrier from the neighbor.
With a one year unconditional replacement guarantee, each of these juniper columnaris plants can be expected to grow up to 15 feet tall and fill out to five feet wide in less than five seasons.
This natural divider is eco-friendly, cheaper than a fence, aesthetically pleasing, low maintenance, and will stay green year-round for decades.
These before and after photos show the original bed with a butterfly bush that, while beautiful, does not create very good privacy. Following is the bed cleaned and prepped, the trees planted standing at roughly 5 feet, and finally a few cubic feet of hardwood bark mulch as a finishing touch.
