After watching multiple videos on planting them... Your video is the BEST. Thanks!!!
That’s great to hear glad you liked it!
@@DIYDudes ❤️
My property is very rocky and with hard soil. My number one gardening tool is a pick-axe: it makes digging holes like yours much easier.
For sure. Thanks for watching!
Gardening is heavy work. Nicely done 👍👏👌😊
Thanks for watching, they are growing like weeds
Great job, thanks for this video man. I'm about to tackle this project at my house and didn't know where to start 😂.
Thanks a lot
Thank you just make sure you keep up the watering! Cedars need lots of water
Thank you for the video,I will be doing this today in my yard.
Good luck!
Great video will be helpful for my brother, I'm a gardener so I get it :)
Thank you!
Very helpful! Can’t wait to plant mine 😆
Good luck!
Great DIY
Thank you!
Officer: Sir, could you walk in a straight line please?
DIY Dude : Yes Sir,.... 0:52 ,...
Officer: Place your hands behind your back and get in the cruiser please Sir.
🤪😀😜
Lol. I was trying to do a consistent 1 meter pace and then paint at the same time… hard to multitask I guess
Looks great. That's exactly what I need.
Glad we could help!
I hope you upload a video later down the line with progress 😍 I want to do this as well . How big will they get?
Hey lax supposedly they will get 25 feet high. But we will see. Good luck!
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Quick question. I would like to plant brandon cedar along my neighbours tall retaining wall. However, he said that he was planning to rebuild his retaining wall in a couple of years. Im afraid my trees would be destroyed during the construction. How hard is it to dig them out to relocate them after they already were established? Transplanting them i mean. Thanks
Chances are your neighbour will never replace their retaining wall. But if they do the trees can be removed and replanted. Just make sure you save a lot of the root ball and water them a ton during the replanting process
Good luck!
Great demo - thank you; what hedge tree is better for narrow lane?
Do some research on different cedars some are thinner. The emerald green that I used can be trimmed nicely
Awesome video! I have a question for you. Ive planted about 8 of these and half of them are very healthy but the other half as looking like they are started to lose color. I cant tell if its from sun or overwatering or underwatering. All of them are getting watered every 2 to 3 days. The more lively ones get full sun all day and the less healthy ones are behind a fence so they only get sun from the mid--point up. Also, those 4 are in slightly damper soil. Please help!!
Hey sorry but sounds like the ones that are not doing so well are not getting enough sun…. These Cedars can be touchey when you first plant them. I would check with an experienced garden Center and get a suggestion on fertilizer to help give them a boost. Good luck
how long did the planting take you? was it a day's worth?
No. Just a couple hours
Some of my leafs are going brown they were planted two months ago and we have been watering them since. The weather has been pretty hot lately so we are trying to water more. We buried them like you mentioned but I noticed that someone had stuffed extra ground (mud) up against the trunks of the trees about a week ago when doing some landscaping so I pulled that mud away from the trunks and the mulch too. Left a 6 inch perimeter around the tree. Would this of caused it?
Yeah you don’t want to cover the top of the root ball or the base of the trunk.
Keep watering consistently and the will likely come back
@@DIYDudes sweet thanks
Was triple mix in the truck as well?
Yes it was. It’s much cheaper buying it by the yard
1:00 whoa there...don't hurt yourself
Lol. I try !
@@DIYDudes nice video thanks!
I wonder if 3ft spacing is two wide for privacy hedge, 2ft? or 2.5ft?
The grow pretty wide…. Eventually
Tighter space is better for more privacy quicker
@@DIYDudes yeah, i went with 3ft, lets say a prayer for privacy
what species of cedar was used?
I used emerald cedars purchased from Lowe’s. Thanks for watching
I planted my hedge in threes
A line that meanders is better than a hedge that dies in 10 years !…..enough said
video update please
Hey they are actually still growing great… it’s winter here maybe I can update in the summer. I plan to do a couple more planting videos as well. Check back thanks!
How tall is the cedar?
The ones i planted were 5’. They are about 6’ now thanks
Dude that wasn’t even close to 32 inches or 12 inches deep. I woulda cheated too considering that soil.
Plant em high they won't die.
Plant em low they won't grow.
Don’t tell my wife that’s not 12”
