Living Hedge Privacy Screens

Privacy That Breathes

Enjoy the solitude of your outdoors without the green wall. Most homeowners plant sterile privacy hedges that die in winter, are vulnerable to drought and pests, and offer little more than a visual barrier. They spray them with toxic bug repellents that kill butterflies and drift onto where kids play.

There’s a better way. Instead of sterile hedges, we build layered living screens using native trees and shrubs, natural living fortresses that block the neighbors, buffer road noise, and reduce mosquito pressure naturally.

  • How It Works Our 2-Step Process

Our 2-Step Privacy Hedge System

Our layered planting system replaces rigid barriers with a living, breathing hedge that delivers year-round privacy, natural pest control, and environmental protection—creating a quieter, more resilient outdoor space without chemicals.

  • Step 1

Building Multi-Layer Privacy

Instead of a single row of dying shrubs, we layer dense evergreens with berry-producing shrubs to create a thick, multi-level privacy hedge even in winter. This approach blocks sightlines better than a fence, breaks up and buffers sound waves that flat walls reflect, and acts as a year-round home for birds. The layered structure also provides critical wind buffering, especially important on Long Island’s open landscapes where prevailing winter winds drive up heating costs and dry out plantings.

You get a living wall that breathes while creating a quiet zone inside your property.

  • Step 2

Reducing Pest Habitat Naturally

Dense, layered native plantings attract the predators that keep pest populations in check, dragonflies, bats, and songbirds. By designing habitat that supports the full food web, we reduce mosquito and tick pressure without chemical sprays that harm pollinators.

Get the Privacy, Peace, and Protection You Need

You shouldn’t feel exposed in your own backyard. Let’s build a perimeter that keeps prying eyes and biting bugs out.

The berry-producing shrubs and layered habitat we build support birds year-round. Bird watchers and nature photographers delight in the species that thrive in a backyard oasis, from migrating warblers to resident chickadees. The Spadefoot team collaborates with local conservation organizations, specially the Long Island Conservancy chapters on community and group projects that support pollinators and the broader ecosystem we all share.
