If you leave the top of the root ball exposed 1.5 inches above grade wouldn't the top roots dry out? And why is drainage so important, I thought cedars required large regular amounts of water to grow so wouldn't water draining away from the cedar be a bad thing?
Is there a good alternative to mulch? Maybe rocks? I would like a hedge like this around my deck but I've had issues with termites and I'm trying to avoid mulch as much as possible.
Great video! You only spaced them an inch apart, what if a guy wants the height to be 6 feet and tops the cedars, won`t they start to thicken out and choke each other off?? I`m very curious about this as I`m wanting to do this. Also, what does a guy cover them with in our harsh canadian winters? And do you cover them for their first two years or what???
I have a neighbor no longer wants their cedar tree in their landscape, I plan on digging it up and placing it in mine, if I do is it replantable or will it not survive?
great video thank you! how far do you recommend planting the tree from a fence line? I'd like to have it fill in tight to the fence so dogs cant get between the fence and hedge
A terminology guide would have been nice. Like what’s “topping” and what fertilizer you use? And why use bark mulch? Do you have to use it? Who is it used?
I'll never understand why people ruin a beautiful landscape with a monoculture hedge. Look at the surrounding mountains and valleys, where do you see trees planted in rows? A beautiful mix of different evergreens, deciduous trees and shrubs would've looked so much better and if one of your arborvitaes gets disease, it won't take your entire hedge with it.
Great video. It has everything I needed to know for my little lake house Cedar hedge.
A very thorough guide. Thanks!

OVI-Wan Kenobi too much water, pooling at the roots is bad
Root rot is the most obvious answer.
You mentioned fertilizer. Where was that used? Did I zone out while watching the video?
Do you need to work the soil under the rootball before planting? How much deeper and wider than the rootball should the ditch be?
Great video and well presented!
I’ve had trees die and wasted hundreds because I didn’t do my homework. This explains in detail what I needed to know. Thanks
Thanks for this wonderful video. All I needed to know!

What type of cedars was that

Thanks for the video! Very informative.
Thanks For the Video. It was of great help. Feeling confident putting my cedars in now:)
Great video a little noisy in the background but gotcha!! Easy instructions thanks!!
Why block such a beautiful view?

Good job
Thanks.
things u will need: mansion
No. I have a small house and I never had an issue.
That’s far from a mansion lol
That is one tall man
Wow expensive hedge. I'd rather go quarter height and spend some on a rain collection system
These hedges are fairly cheap! They’re sold at Costco in Canada for $20 CAD, which is about $14 USD.
thing you will need: $100K to plant 400 hedges
Maybe closer to $10,000.
@@Prairielander $100-$125 CAD each for those size, so $40-$50,000
Now you can sit back and watch them turn brown ( unless you live in B.C.)
What? I just planted 25 trees and I live in Ontario
@@samalibya2032how are they holding up? I’m planting one today
white cedars are for hedges... not emerald cedars............. wonder how much $$$ he made
Theres many way better choices for hedging than white cedars. Whites are cheap at the bottom of the list.
Must have cost a fortune purchasing all those trees at 5-6' heights
Emerald Cedars > Swamp Cedars.
