GUIDE
Practical planting guidance
Arborvitae can be a strong fit
Arborvitae is popular for privacy rows, especially when the site has enough sun, reasonable drainage, and room for the selected variety to mature.
Evergreens are not all the same
Different evergreens vary in width, growth rate, tolerance, and finished look. A mixed screen may be better than one species in some settings.
Kentucky site conditions matter
Clay soils, drainage, slopes, deer, wind exposure, and summer heat all affect plant choice and aftercare.
