Planting Privet Hedges
In coastal New England when planting privet hedges you might want to tie them down. Winds can be strong and gusty and we learned the hard way -scroll down to the last image here: Crushed Gravel Driveway and Paking
I am so glad we chose planting privet hedges over installing a wood fence. We're now solidly sheltered from the road and the landscaping bolders I think add a lot of character to the property and this "farmer wall" will only look better as the privet hedges grow -I understand privets can grow a foot a year or more.
