"Additionally, he was suppose to get rid of an overgrowth of weeds on the side of the lawn. He told me when he tried to excavate the weeds he came across an underground pipe which the town had installed. He was afraid that he may cause damage to the pipe , so he said instead of excavating the weeds he would come back and spray weed killer on that area. He has yet to come back and spray that area down. After he installed the lawn, it was pretty much bare. I notice that there was an uneven surface in the lawn that was not properly filled out with topsoil. As a result, water began to settle (stagnant ) on the property whenever it rains. I reached out to the provider, I sent him a photo of what the area looked like. He promise to come back and add more topsoil, he has not been back and now that area is growing moss. I took another photo and send it to the provider explaining to him that it has caused damage on the property , again he told me he would take care of it. Additionally , there are bald spots in the lawn and also an overgrowth of weeds. Again, I brought this to the provider's attention. First he stated he would come back to do a weed and feed. When he did not show up I tried calling him he has not responded or returned my phone call. I texted him letting him know that I was looking forward to him coming over to take care of the issues with my lawn and I haven't seen or heard from him. He texted me back saying he shouldn't have to come back to fix my lawn, since I should have been watering the lawn everyday. My responds was , clearly it is not a watering issue since the lawn is green and full in some areas , while other areas are bald. Initially when we signed the contract he agreed to coming back and re-seed if there were any bald spots."

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.
