Privacy Screening

10/01/2016

Hello,

I recently bought a home in a neighborhood with yards 10-15ft apart from one another. I’m trying to find which privacy screen would be fast growing, provide all year privacy, can grow together to form a rectangular shape, and grow up to 10′. Lastly, in order to calculate how many seeds I would need, I need to figure out how far apart the seeds would need to be planted.

I greatly appreciate your time on helping with this!

Thank you again!

It sounds like hedge plants would be the best option for you. Privet would be a typical option that would suit your needs, but there are many options. See these articles to choose your favorite:
