Description

Transform blank property lines and bare foundation walls into professional, multi-tiered landscape features with zero guesswork.

Designing a balanced garden bed usually requires hours of research on spacing, mature sizing, and layering. Our Landscape Solution Kits take the complexity out of curb appeal. Each kit is pre-measured and curated by professional nursery growers to pair fast-establishing structural evergreens with heavy-blooming mid-tier shrubs and tough understory groundcovers—giving you year-round beauty, instant privacy, and a polished finish along any border.

  • Pre-Calculated Spacing: No guessing how many plants you need or how far apart to put them. Just follow the included step-by-step layout map.
  • Complete Multi-Tier Density: Combines vertical height, eye-level blooms, and a living weed-suppressing ground carpet.
  • Direct-from-Nursery Value: Save significantly compared to buying individual plants a la carte, backed by Greenwood Nursery quality.

Block unwanted views, noisy neighbors, and road dust with a fast-growing, multi-tiered living screen.

The Fast Privacy Living Fence Kit provides a dense, natural green buffer engineered to establish quickly along property borders, fence lines, and driveways. Rather than a flat, single row of slow-growing hedges that leave wide gaps at ground level, this architectural package utilizes a staggered 3-tier matrix: columnar evergreens provide rapid vertical height, arching butterfly bushes create eye-level screening and summer blooms, and leathery groundcovers seal the soil surface. Pre-measured to provide complete structural coverage along a 30-foot linear border (approximately 5' to 6' × 30', or 150–180 sq. ft.).

  • Zero Spacing Math: Pre-calculated for a 30-foot linear border on recommended staggered centers.
  • Multi-Layer Density: Combines tall columnar evergreens with dense, arching flowering shrubs to eliminate open sightlines at every height.
  • Pollinators & Four-Season Cover: Delivers year-round evergreen screening enhanced with summer pollinator blooms and fragrant floral panicles.

Quick Living Fence Planting Guide:

  1. Set the Evergreen Spine First: Space your 6 columnar American Pillar Arborvitaes evenly along the rear boundary on 5-foot centers, leaving 3 to 4 feet of clearance from property fences or structures.
  2. Stagger the Flowering Shrub Buffer: Plant your 5 Pink Cascade Buddleia pints in staggered pockets slightly forward and between the evergreens to double visual thickness.
  3. Weave the Evergreen Ground Carpet: Distribute the 25 bare-root Pachysandra across the open understory bed (12–18" centers) to choke out weeds and stop soil erosion.
  4. Anchor the Front Edges: Position your 4 accent Ajuga pints at the border corners, gate openings, or driveway transitions.
  5. Mulch & Deep Soak: Apply 2–3 inches of shredded bark mulch across the entire bed and provide consistent deep watering 2–3 times weekly during the first growing season.

The Staggered 3-Tier Matrix: Shown arranged in a staggered 3-tier matrix. By tucking bushy flowering shrubs between columnar evergreens, you get multi-season color and eye-level privacy while allowing each plant the airflow and root space it needs to thrive.

What’s in the Box (15 Potted Plants + 25 Groundcover Runners):

  • 6 × Columnar Screening Evergreens: (Quart Containers: American Pillar Arborvitae / Thuja occidentalis) Rapid-growing vertical evergreens that form the structural backbone of your living wall without consuming excessive yard width.
  • 5 × Mid-Tier Arching Flowering Shrubs: (Established Pints: Pink Cascade Butterfly Bush / Buddleia) Fast-growing shrubs featuring cascading, soft-pink floral panicles that fill view windows and attract pollinators all summer long.
  • 1 × 25-Pack Bare-Root Groundcover Runners: (Bare-Root Bundle: Pachysandra Terminalis) Tough, hardy evergreen groundcover that weaves together beneath the shrubs to suppress weeds, retain moisture, and eliminate lawn trimming along the fence.
  • 4 × Potted Infill & Edge Accents: (Established Pints: Ajuga Reptans) Tough, bronze-purple scalloped foliage with upright blue-purple floral spikes to frame boundary corners, walkways, or driveway entrances.

🌱 Nursery Grower's Note & Availability: Varieties in this kit are selected specifically for rapid establishment, screening density, and hardiness. Depending on crop harvest and regional availability, evergreen anchors (American Pillar, Green Giant, or Skip Laurel) and mid-tier screening shrubs of equal or greater value and identical screening habits may be substituted to guarantee vigorous nursery stock arrives ready to plant.

Key Advantages:

  • No Waiting on Slow Hedges: Rapidly establishing varieties create a functional green screen years faster than standard single-row hedging.
  • Year-Round Sound & Sight Barrier: Softens street noise, dampens neighborhood activity, and filters prevailing winds.
  • Low Maintenance Understory: The living groundcover carpet chokes out weeds, eliminating recurring hand-weeding or line-trimming along the fence line.

📐 5' × 30' Suggested Layout Guide & Diagram

To create maximum screening density, position your columnar American Pillar (A) along the rear boundary on 5-foot centers. Stagger your arching Pink Cascade Buddleia (B) forward into the gaps to create an overlapping visual block. Blanket the understory with bare-root Pachysandra (P) runners, and anchor the outer ends with Ajuga (J). Please Note: Graphic below serves as a recommended visual placement guide; adjust specific groupings to fit your yard's natural layout.

  1. Unpack & Hydrate: Immediately unbundle bare-root groundcovers; soak root systems in cool water for 1 to 2 hours prior to planting. Keep potted shrubs and accent pints well-watered in partial shade until planting.

  2. Set Rear Evergreen Anchors (A): Dig holes for your 6 Columnar American Pillars on 5-foot centers, spaced 3 to 4 feet off the property line or fence.

  3. Stagger Mid-Tier Buffer (B): Plant the 5 Pink Cascade Buddleia pints in staggered drifts 2 to 3 feet forward from the evergreens, filling the view windows between trees.

  4. Weave Foreground Living Carpet (P): Space the 25 bare-root Pachysandra on 12–18" centers across all remaining open bed space.

  5. Anchor the Outer Edges (J): Plant the 4 Ajuga pints at the extreme left and right corners or driveway transitions.

  6. Mulch & Soak: Cover open soil with 2–3 inches of shredded mulch (keeping bark pulled back 3 inches from stems) and soak thoroughly.

Planting Instructions

How Your Plants Are Shipped & Care Instructions

To ensure a seamless transition to your garden, please follow the specific steps below based on the type of plant you ordered:

📦 1. Container-Grown Plants

Our container-grown plants are shipped with fully established root systems nestled in premium potting media.

  • Unpack & Water Instantly: Carefully remove the protective packaging and check the soil moisture. Give the pot a thorough watering until moisture runs out the bottom drainage holes.
  • Acclimation Period: Place your container plant in a sheltered, partially shaded location for 2 to 3 days to help it recover from transit before moving it to full sun.
  • Planting Depth: Plant at the exact same depth it was sitting in its shipping container, gently loosening the outer roots if they are encircling the root ball.
  • Moisture Control: Keep the soil consistently damp but never soggy for the first few weeks as the roots expand.

🌱 2. Seedling & Liner Bare-Root Plants

Seedlings and liners are young, vibrant plants shipped without pots to make transit highly efficient.

  • Immediate Attention: Unpack immediately upon arrival. If you cannot plant them right away, keep the roots moist and store them in a cool, shaded location out of the wind.
  • Hydration First: Soak the roots in a bucket of water for 1 to 2 hours right before planting to wake them up.
  • Planting: Spread the roots out naturally in the planting hole. Ensure the crown (where the roots meet the stem) sits right at the soil level. Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots.

🌾 3. Groundcover Bare-Root Plants

Groundcover bare-root bundles (like Vinca minor or Sedum) are shipped dormant or semi-dormant, ready to take off once in the ground.

  • Check Moisture: Open the bundle immediately. The packing material around the roots should be damp. If planting is delayed a day or two, lightly mist the roots to keep them from drying out.
  • Soak Before Planting: Soak the root systems in water for about an hour before putting them in the ground.
  • Spacing & Depth: Plant them at the same depth they were growing previously, firming the soil gently over the roots to eliminate any air pockets. Water heavily right after planting and keep the area consistently moist until established.
Shipping Information

Orders containing only hard goods generally ship right away
as the inventory allows. Those items ship year-round and generally within one
week. 

When ordering plants during fall or spring shipping, we will
set your order for the next available shipping week appropriate for your
location. April and May are our busiest months, and sometimes shipping delays
happen. Plants may be processed later than scheduled or the shipping department may get behind. This is not the norm, but it does sometimes happen. Please bear with us if this happens. 

Our bare-root (field-grown) trees and shrubs typically arrive at the facility for shipping in November, December, and January (for fall shipping) and in February, March, April, and May (for spring shipping).

An example of month-by-month shipping would be as follows, as plants are available:

January - zones 9 - 10 

February - zones 8 - 10 

March - zones 7 - 10

April - zones 6 - 10

May - zones 5 - 9

June - zones 3 - 8

July - zones 3 - 7

August - zones 4 - 7

September - zones 5 - 8

October - zones 5 (some areas) - 9
