Arborvitae Hedge Calculator

Proper spacing is important when planting arborvitae privacy hedges. Spacing determines how quickly your hedge fills in and how dense the privacy screen becomes.

Emerald Green Arborvitae is most commonly planted 3 feet apart when creating a privacy hedge.

Closer spacing will create a faster privacy screen, while slightly wider spacing allows the trees more room to grow.

Green Giant Arborvitae are much larger trees and should typically be planted 5 feet apart when used for privacy screening.

Techny Arborvitae form a dense traditional hedge and are typically spaced 4 to 5 feet apart.

Nigra Arborvitae are hardy evergreen trees that are usually planted 4 to 5 feet apart for privacy hedges.
