The 5 Best Evergreen Privacy Plants

Whether you need a hedge of evergreen privacy trees or only 1 tree to provide a little blockage, here our the 5 best evergreen plants for you.

  • Need privacy but can't use a wide growing tree? Then the American Pillar Arborvitae is the tree for you. Growing only up to 20-30 feet tall but stays approximately 3 to 4 feet wide, this evergreen tree will provide you with the view block you need and not overwhelm the rest of your landscape. 
  • A smaller, more narrow evergreen tree that is becoming customer favorite, the Thin Man Arborvitae grows in the 12 to 15 foot height range and only spreads 3 to 5 feet wide. Perfect for enclosing smaller outdoor spaces without appearing overwhelming.
  • Murray Cypress is a newer and hardier cultivar of the Leyland Cypress. This fast growing evergreen tree has been a favorite of Christmas tree growers in the U.S. Whether you shear your Murray for a Christmas tree or allow it to mature in size, you will enjoy it for years to come.
  • The  Arizona Carolina Sapphire Cypress is a true blue evergreen. If you're looking for a more unusual evergreen tree, then the blue Sapphire fits the bill. A fast growing tree, this Cypress makes an excellent hedge tree.
  • The ultimate in privacy tree hedges is the Thuja Green Giant. This Green Giant arborvitae is hardier, more adaptable and faster growing. A popular privacy evergreen tree.
