Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to plant hedges?
The ideal time for hedge planting is during the dormant season—fall through early spring. This allows roots to establish before new growth begins. We can plant year-round in Michigan with proper care and watering.
What hedge species are best for Michigan?
Popular Michigan hedge options include privet, arborvitae, boxwood, and yew. We'll recommend species based on your sunlight, soil conditions, desired height, and maintenance preferences to ensure long-term success.
How far apart should hedges be planted?
Spacing depends on the species and mature size. Most hedges are planted 12-36 inches apart. Our team will determine the optimal spacing to create a full, attractive hedge screen while promoting healthy growth.
