Q&A
What exactly is a 'Living Fence' and how does Pryor's Nursery handle the installation?
A Living Fence is a privacy screen created by densely planting fast-growing evergreen trees like Nellie Stevens Hollies, Leyland Cypress, or Green Giant Arborvitaes. At Pryor's Nursery, we handle the entire process from our 10-acre Damascus tree farm. We grow the trees, help you personally select the right ones on-site, and then our team professionally installs them. This includes proper spacing, soil preparation, and initial care to ensure your landscape construction establishes a healthy, long-lasting privacy barrier.
Can you help with common Damascus lawn issues like poor grading or dead areas as part of your landscaping services?
Absolutely. Poor grading and dead lawn areas are common local challenges that can undermine a landscape. Our landscape maintenance and construction services address these issues directly. For grading problems, we can regrade and install proper drainage as part of a new Living Fence or greenscape project to prevent water pooling. For dead areas, we assess the cause—often related to soil, shade, or drainage—and can remediate the soil, re-sod, or integrate hardy ground cover and plantings that thrive in our local Damascus conditions, creating a healthier, more resilient yard.
Do you provide ongoing tree care for the Living Fences you install?
Yes, we offer comprehensive tree care services to maintain the health and beauty of your Living Fence. Our tree care includes seasonal pruning to maintain shape and density, fertilization based on soil needs, and monitoring for pests or disease common to evergreens in our region. We also provide guidance on watering, especially during establishment. For existing installations, we offer tree planting services to fill in any gaps, ensuring your privacy screen remains full and effective for years to come.
