Seek Approval: It may require approval from the architectural review board. Some boards have acceptable plant lists and may ask your landscape architect to provide a drawing to show placement of these plants.
Think Long Term: Envision your fence in three to five years. Most plants installed for a natural privacy fence are four to six feet tall when installed. The larger the plant, the more it costs. But keep in mind that these plants grow, so don’t fret if you don’t get the height you want initially. Think long term unless your budget is robust enough to allow you to have a lush, full green fence at installation.  
Patience Is A Virtue: Don’t worry if there are gaps between the plants at first. Again, think long term. If plants are spaced too closely together at installation, they’ll crowd each other out and may choke out plants in the middle. Planting them three to five feet apart, you’ll get a dense, lush fence within a few years, but it takes time to get there.
Water Needs: Ensure you have the proper irrigation systems for your natural privacy fence. The water needs to get to the property line so the plants can continue to establish themselves and thrive.
Choosing Plants: Costs for a natural privacy fence vary based on the type of plant, how mature the plants are at installation and the length of the fence. It goes without saying, but a fence that’s 50 feet long will cost much less than one that’s 100 feet long. Consider supplementing your natural privacy fence plantings by adding some grasses or a planting bed leading up to the privacy wall, to give it a softer edge.
Matching Maintenance Needs: The look of the fence (i.e. plant type) also depends on the neighborhood. Do you live in a community that’s more formal in appearance?

We hope these ideas help as you begin your journey to a secure and private home. Feel free to call Hamilton Fencing for all of your privacy fencing needs in Columbus, Delaware or central Ohio. Or send us an email via our online form.
