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.
