Growth stages at a glance

These visuals are planning examples. Actual plant size, fullness, and growth depend on nursery availability, variety, pruning, site conditions, weather, watering, and care.

3-gallon starter

Smallest common starting size — budget-friendly for longer runs.

Typically offers the longest timeline to a solid visual screen.

5-gallon standard

Our most common homeowner starting size for privacy hedges.

Often selected as the balance of cost and reasonable early structure.

15-gallon fast start

Larger starter for faster day-one presence along the line.

Can shorten the wait for structure, but still not instant privacy.

Mid-maturity screen

Planning example of a developing privacy row.

Gaps often close as plants fill in — timing depends on spacing and care.

Mature privacy hedge

Planning example of a full evergreen screen at mature spacing.

Represents long-term screening potential — not a day-one guarantee.

Why we use it in Texas

Blue Point juniper offers a softer blue-green color and pyramidal habit that works well when customers want juniper screening with a bit more width than Spartan.
