| I am looking to plant possibly a row of trees between my fence and swimming pool (The fence is 5 feet from the pool, not much room) The width I'm needing to span is 30'-40' and would like the trees to grow around 25'-45'. I was thinking of plantiing Italian cypress close together hoping they might help block the house that is right next to my fence. Maintenace is an issue especially w/ the pool. Any suggestions or warnings for this issue would be appreciated. Thank You, Kris |
| Italian cypress would be suitable plants for the area you describe. They're reasonably litter-free and will grow tall enough to provide a privacy screen with growing too wide for the planting area. A second suggestion is a row of Thuja (arborvitae). These plants have a tall, narrow growth habit and are relatively maintenance free. Best wishes with your privacy screen! |
