Moon Valley Nurseries' Hedge Calculator
Calculating the row length, space needed, and the number of trees required can be a complex task, especially for those without experience in horticulture or landscaping. Our Hedge Calculator simplifies this process by taking into account the desired height and width of the hedge, and the spacing between each tree. This will help determine the optimal number of trees to get, as well as the correct distance to plant them apart, resulting in a healthy and thriving hedge. Additionally, a hedge calculator can save time and money by preventing over or under-planting, reducing the need for additional plantings and maintenance in the future.
Why Spacing Matters
When planting hedges, the space between the trees can make all of the difference. Planting box-to-box will create a nice and dense, privacy-producing hedge. Planting your trees three feet apart will still create some privacy, but you will have to wait longer for the trees to start growing between the gaps for that living wall look. Lastly, planting your trees six feet apart won't give you much privacy at all, but rather create a nice row that will highlight what it's boarding.Trees by age (Use this to calculate how many hedges you'll need) | |
