Hardy, Year-Round Foliage
Evergreen trees keep their foliage all year long, making them perfect for screening out any unwanted views. Many people plant evergreen trees on the borders of their property to act as a living fence, enclosing the yard for a more private, enchanting ambiance. In the winter, evergreens stand out in the landscape, reminding you that life is still thriving in the cold.
Two of the most popular evergreen trees for screening are the Giant Green Arborvitae and the Leyland Cypress. These deer-resistant space definers grow quickly and maintain a predictable form, allowing for the formation of hedges. White pine is another popular choice, though we prefer to use them in small groves or as standalone specimen. For smaller spaces, Dwarf Alberta Spruce is the perfect choice, as it grows slowly and keeps its dense conical form.
Because they keep their foliage year-round, evergreens make fantastic habitat for birds and small mammals throughout the year, and especially in Winter. Providing critters with evergreen trees on the periphery of your landscape will give them the shelter they need to feel safe while they browse for seeds and berries.
