"Do you have a yard full of bark chips (or weeds), and you’d like a lovely landscape instead? Calling RCS Landscape is a good start. After contacting 7 landscapers through Angie’s List (3 of whom never called me back), I got 4 quotes for work in my back yard. Ricardo’s was the most reasonable, and he was able to start work sooner than the others. He answered all my questions as the job progressed. I have difficult access to my back yard, and Ricardo and his team were willing and able to work with it. They did a professional job on my retaining wall and paver path and patio, plus they were very patient in helping me place my boulders. In addition, they were personable, considerate of my neighbors and cleaned up after themselves. There were a couple of things that did not get communicated during my project. While Ricardo was able to fix one of them, it was too far along in the project to fix the other. I chose to do my own planting and mulching. With the professionally installed hardscape already in place, the end result is a serene and delightful spot I now call My Happy Place. My friends and family love it too! I would definitely put RCS Landscape on the list of people to call if I needed more work done."

"Israel and his team were great to work with and I am really happy with both of the projects they competed for me. They replaced an old, failing retaining wall with a beautiful stone retaining wall with a French drain behind it. I showed Israel pictures of what I wanted it to look like and his team did an amazing job making my vision a reality. They were careful with my existing plants and landscaping and went above and beyond by moving and repotting a shrub that I was unable to move by myself before the work began. They also replaced parts of my backyard that had been removed by neighbors and built a beautiful new fence and gate out of cedar. They did an amazing job matching the style of the existing fence and my yard looks so much better now. I am so happy with everything and I would work with GI Landscaping again anytime!"

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.
