Landscaping With 8' Tall Hedges

Plant tall hedges around a fence or wall. Cover up stained or unsightly fences easily with 8-foot hedges and the hedge will serve as a new wall of foliage. If you don't want to alter the look of a yard too much, hedges against the wall provide greenery without a complete overhaul.

Reduce noise pollution around the home and plant tall hedges around the perimeter of the property. The hedges act as a barrier to street noise, which allow you to use your outdoor space to relax or unwind. Plant hedges along the backyard walls to reduce noise within the garden, or outdoor entertaining areas.

Increase colors into the landscape with hedges that blossom. Tall hedges that provide blossoms include red rum honeysuckle, which contains white flowers that transform into small, red fruits, and Siberian peashrub, which features small, yellow flowers in the spring season.

Plant a hedge that contains edible fruit to provide function and color into a landscape. Tall hedges with edible fruit include American cranberry bush, bush plums, hazelbert, natal plum, pineapple guava and Rugosa rose. Shape hedges with edible blossoms or fruits along fences or property lines, or grow casually along walls for an informal landscape design.
