Landscaping for Privacy: Top Hedge Choices for MA

In towns with smaller lot sizes like Arlington or Belmont, privacy is a premium. The right landscaping can act as a 'living fence.'

Top Privacy Plants

Green Giant Arborvitae: Fast-growing and deer-resistant (mostly!).
Privet: Offers a classic, formal New England look.
Norway Spruce: Best for large lots in Sudbury or Weston.

Maximize Your ROI

Properties with secluded backyard oases sell for significantly more than those with exposed yards. Investing in mature plantings now pays off during resale.
