Our story is simple: we had just moved to Central Florida with our young family, and we purchased an investment property that had a plant nursery on it. Not even a year later, we had a choice to make: find another person to rent the nursery or start our own at the same location. We chose the latter, and we are now a favorite stop for many in Polk County that are looking for a beautiful place to shop for beautiful plants. We offer full landscaping design and installation services, with great customer service, attention to detail, and the advantage of being able to select the very best plants possible due to our significant relationships with growers throughout the State of Florida. Check out our reviews on Facebook and Google, among other places. We are fully insured with Worker’s Compensation insurance as required by law. You’ll be delighted that you picked Spirit Lake Garden Center LLC for your project.
"Not only did they finish the project on time, but they did an incredible job. It all began with a call with one of the owners Tom who was simply an incredible person. Then our first visit to the nursery when we met Cecilia whom was very knowledgeable and friendly. She took so much time with us to show us around and help us decide which plants and palm trees to choose. Then we met the other owner Lily. This was not an ordinary boss. Lily showed up with her team and she actually did the work as well. She made sure we were happy with the design and layout. They did such a great job that we are certainly bringing them back to do the landscaping around our pool. I would certainly recommend them as they do great work and very reasonable pricing."

The optimal planting season for hedges depends on your climate zone, but early spring and fall offer ideal conditions. Spring planting allows roots to establish before summer heat arrives, while fall planting gives plants time to develop root systems before winter dormancy.
In milder climates, winter planting can work well, but avoid periods of extreme temperature or drought regardless of season to give your new hedge the best chance of successful establishment.
Proper spacing depends on the hedge variety and your desired outcome. Most hedge plants perform best when spaced between one and three feet apart. Fast-growing species need more room between plants to accommodate their eventual spread and allow for proper air circulation.
For immediate privacy, you might place plants closer together, but this approach can create competition for nutrients and may affect long-term health. Always check the specific spacing recommendations for your chosen hedge variety.
The time required for a hedge to form an effective privacy screen varies by plant type and initial size. Most hedges take between two and five years to develop full density when started with smaller plants. Fast-growing varieties like privet may establish more quickly, while slower-growing species like boxwood require additional patience.
Starting with larger plants reduces waiting time but increases initial costs. Regular watering, appropriate fertilization, and proper pruning techniques can help accelerate growth and density development.
For rapid privacy screening, consider fast-growing hedge options like privet, which can grow up to three feet annually in ideal conditions. Arborvitae varieties add approximately two feet of height per year and provide excellent year-round screening. Other quick-growing options include certain varieties of cypress and juniper.
While these fast-growing species provide quicker results, they require more frequent maintenance and may have shorter overall lifespans than slower-growing alternatives.
Most residential hedge planting projects don't require permits, but regulations vary by location. Some municipalities enforce height restrictions for hedges, particularly those along property lines or near roadways. If your planned hedge will exceed these height limitations, permits may be necessary.
Additionally, homeowners' association rules might govern hedge placement, species selection, and maintenance standards. Checking local regulations and HOA requirements before planting helps avoid potential complications and expenses.
