I am looking for ideas and advice on what i can plant in 2 areas to provide natural screening/border. At the red line on the north of the property, i want something that will be about 6-8' tall and block the view from a county road at the gate. The yellow area i want to block the view to the neighbors so I won't see their house/shop and provide more privacy. I am thinking planting pines and just letting them grow thick here. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/HW6zYWJB/IMG-0373.jpg)

If you plant pines, stagger the rows and plant on a wider spacing like 10x12. Then plant a row of Chickasaw plum between pines and the field.

If you want a really impenetrable screen, try this ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/85bMxb3G/IMG-4060.jpg) Trifoliate Orange also heard it called Hardy Orange

Is that white area chalk? If so cedar trees. Looks like super high PH area. Quick fix: round hay bails or long T post and screen material.

The chalky looking area is actually just a sand/clay mix. Nothing has grown there naturally.

Hey Alpatriot15 go west out Hwy 82 toward the lake Lurleen exit, turn around and come back east where the old wood yard use to be (less than 1/4 mile). There is wax myrtles that have been left to grow for I know 15-20 years on the south side of 82 there. That will give you an idea of what it can look like. You just about can’t kill them either. They’ll grow only so high, and stay thick.
I wouldn’t plant pines imo.
Everything woke turns to shucks

Eastern Red Cedar. They are native, won't get out of control and are long lasting.

Plant a few hedge rows of Eli Agnes. We have this on my work property, and my landscapers have to prune it back every few weeks. It will make an unbelievable screen.

If you want a really impenetrable screen, try this Trifoliate Orange also heard it called Hardy Orange Trifoliate Orange is an invasive species. You should be killing it where it is found and definitely shouldn't be planting it for deer screening when there are plenty of native options. Also, don't go planting giant miscanthus either. Some "gurus" market it as safe and sterile, but that's the same thing they used to say about the Bradford pear. We have enough problems with invasives as it is, don't need to contribute to making it worse.

I’m very well aware of it’s issues, we’ve been dealing with it since a high water event back around 1990. It doesn’t like fire and some herbicides work very well. I’ll agree with you on the miscanthus, not sold on it’s claimed sterility.
