Collection: Laurels

Premium Screening & Evergreen Privacy

Laurels are the gold standard for evergreen privacy screens, delivering dense foliage, rapid growth, and year-round coverage that transforms property lines into living walls. Our selection includes cherry laurel, skip laurel, and otto luyken laurel varieties in multiple sizes—offering glossy broadleaf foliage, fragrant spring blooms, and the fast-growing performance that creates effective screening in just a few seasons.

Why Laurels Excel

• Fast-growing privacy: Vigorous growth rate creates effective screening and windbreaks in 2-3 seasons
• Year-round coverage: Dense evergreen foliage provides permanent privacy without seasonal gaps
• Glossy elegance: Large, lustrous leaves add refined texture and reflect light in shaded areas
• Spring fragrance: Clusters of white flowers in spring offer sweet fragrance and pollinator attraction

Selection & Placement

Choose varieties based on mature size and growth rate. Skip laurel offers a more open, upright form ideal for tall screens, while cherry laurel provides denser coverage for maximum privacy. Portuguese laurel tolerates more sun and heat. Plant in rows spaced 4-6 feet apart for effective screening, or use as specimen shrubs in mixed borders. Laurels adapt to sun or partial shade and tolerate a wide range of soil conditions.

Care Essentials

Plant in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade exposure. Water consistently during establishment to encourage rapid root development and vigorous growth. Mulch to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Prune in late spring after flowering to control size, shape hedges, or maintain desired height. Laurels respond well to shearing for formal hedges or selective pruning for naturalistic screens. Fertilize in early spring to support vigorous growth and dense foliage.
