The type of cedar trees you should get will depends on a number of factors. Linear coverage of the area to be hedged is a big consideration. If you live on acreage and have several hundred feet to hedge you may consider planting an Excelsia Cedar (Thuja Plicata) as it is very wide and fast growing and much more cost economical as they don’t have to be spaced as close as other kinds. You must also consider how wide the cedars will eventually grow in relation to your yard. Most customers of ours in the past have purchased the Emerald Cedar (Emerald Green Arborvitae) given the tight/narrow growing characteristics which is ideal for most backyards and along fences. They are very easy to maintain needing a trim only once per year. There may be other factors unique to your specific landscaping job best seen only in person by one of our sales associates. If this is the case please call or email us to set up a time to talk in person or over the phone to better guide you in terms of what type of cedar tree to buy. Click here for more information.

The best time of year to plant cedar trees is generally cooler months (September to May). In general, digging during this time will usually inflict the least amount of shock to the cedar trees creating a higher success rate. When the soil is moist, trees come out of the ground with tight, compact footballs necessary for transport.
