Planting a Privacy Screen | Gardening with Creekside 

You’re so lucky to have a Jerry! Awesome he’s such a hard working partner.

Beautiful trees. Jenny you and Jerry are such hard workers.

It looks absolutely gorgeous and I love your property and anyone that would say anything to you about your" junk "corner has some serious issues LOL

We are GA and have come to love camellia’s That are smaller in size! They flower explosively!! and are low maintenance 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🙌🙌🙌

I live in Georgia with heavy clay soil and finally learning so much about gardening in clay soil! Realized the importance of learning to garden in your own zones. Also told my husband about getting a pole saw to trim our birch tree near our house that has been a jumping zone for squirrels to get on our roof! Thanks for your wonderful informative video!

That's showing that clay soil whose the Boss! I never thought I'd ever be envious of industrial equipment, but here I am...LOL

JENNY LOVE TO SEE YOURSELF AND JERRY WORKING TOGETHER ❤ 💕 💖

Hi Jenny & Jerry!!!! I could watch these kind of videos forever!!! I love to see people planting beautiful trees 🌲! What is the yellow plants in the background!! They look stunning!!!😊💖🌲🌲🌲🌼🌼🌼👍👋

Awww Keeping the birds fed & protected is just amazing. Another awesome job!

Lovely!

Every tree and shrub that you plant just enhances your property more and more. You will definitely have arms of steel. I love that little bobcat and auger that must be a real gamechanger and not to forget the new edger. As Jenny says, worker smarter not harder, love it and love your channel.

Enjoyed this video. Having clay soil myself it was a great tutorial. 👍🏻😄😀

very pretty

These hollies are really beautiful I'm definitely going to do some research and see if I can find something similar for zone five.

The opening tunes are perfect for Jerry & the Bobcat! Y’all keep giving us all this planting content & I’ll keep adding these plants to my 2022 journal🥰🌲

SEASON GREETINGS FROM MARGARET IN MACROOM CO CORK SOUTHERN IRELAND 🇮🇪 😀

Everything you Jenny and Jerry are doing is beautiful! You both are hard workers!

I love that you showed us your “less attractive” area of the garden because you’re right, we all have them! It’s going to look great.

Good morning from Windermere, Florida zone 🇺🇸 Wow! Your Guy has muscles 💪 I tried using a pole saw and couldn't handle the weight in the end. But I'm a woman and older. But it does the job 👍 Good job 👏 👍 👌

Nice👍

They look happy! We’ve got a privacy screen planting scheduled for this spring. I never considered Hollys, lovely! 🙌🏻 great job

We planted 3 of these earlier this year as a screen between us and one very nosy neighbor. Perfect size tree for a smaller lot too with the added benefit of red berries in the winter for interest

Fun project! I planted 4 hollies specifically for the birds a couple years back, they produced beautiful berries this year.

Oh good. My parents' landscaper put in three junipers that each can be well maintained in a five foot space, into a space that's about 12×3 1/2. I pruned multiple times this year. I might need slimmer options for the future if I ever take them out. I may want to keep one but remove two. A trellis and vine or containers of blueberries or raspberries are the current ideas. However, we have bindweed in that area. I'm not sure whether spindly plants can go there.

Jenny, I love how you continually highlight how the wildlife will enjoy the fruits of your labor. Especially do our non-migrating songbirds need forage and an evergreen place to nest during winter. 💕🌲🐦🌸🌿

Now that’s what I call an auger! I like the Oakland hollies. Their compact form looks so good and the winter berries seal the deal.

Yes,Jenny we all know about our my junk spots. Thank you for being real!!!

The hollies are gorgeous Jenny and this area is becoming so beautiful xx

That turned out really nice!

Hi Jenny and Jerry... how's it growing? [1] Jenny, I am also a big fan of all kinds of Holly bushes. I especially love the varigated leaf ones. I think the more the 'merrier' [get it? lol] They really are lovely,,, especially in arrangements and different kinds of decorating. [2] I totally love this TEAMWORK! Both of you getting it done. Just working together side by side,, creating a lovely environment. You should be so proud. It's fantastic to see people coming together like this. HARMONY! [3] Great job on the maple trimming. Great mulch could be made out of the branches that Jerry trimmed up. Just send them through a chipper. Remember bagging chipped mulch is a major revenue source!!! -OR- cut into firewood for the pit or fireplaces,, and all the wood ash [pot ash] would also be great for the holes to amend the soil too. [4] I would have put the 'Land and Sea' down in the holes,, not on top of the holes to help with the drainage issues, and also with as an energy source and to give it Should have dropped a good plenty amount of leaves in those holes before putting the bio-tone in there. The 'Land and Sea' sitting ON TOP of the soil is sort of wasted energy. It's doing nothing really but acting like a top dressing,, which is what mulch is suppose to do. Compost IN THE SOIL, and Mulch on TOP of the soil. Compost isn't a top dressing..that's the job of mulch. Compost and leaf mulch down in those holes around the root ball will give it so much energy, it will get them through their darkest days of adapting to their new environment. It would also help with the drainage issue. Same for all the coffee ground and egg shells..all good things dropped into the holes before dropping those trees and shrubs in! [5] That poor edge was working up a storm. It was chewing through something that was NOT very friendly to it. Does look a lot better with that clean edge to define the area. [6] Finished product looks so much better. That entire area is going to be so appealing. Can't wait to see it all come together.

Great info on clay soil - which we have here in Ohio! We love our birds too so appreciated the info on the evergreens and berries in our yard. We need to add a privacy screen type area at the edge of our property - this was really helpful! Oh! and limbing up that tree too - I need one of those Stihl pole saws!!

Both you’re great team and family, love your job and ideas do you proportional!👍

Hot lots of ideas today. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving with loads of blessings and lotsa love

Those looks so great! Jerry has all the cool tools!

Beautiful - Holly has always been one of my favs. You two work great together !

Just love all the improvements you and Jerry do to your home. I always learn from your videos. Thanks. 😊❤

I hope Jerry's back was fine after lifting those heavy trees. It looked like he was twisting as he lifted. I didn't realize you had so much flagstone leftover. If it's not already intended for another area might I suggest you place some of it beside the car doors so as one steps out of or into the car they'll have a dry spot to step? I know you get heavy rains and thought the gravel might get flooded at times. Sort of like painted lines in a parking lot. Just a thought. ☺️

Hi jenny I am so pleased you are thi king about the birds my husband and I have bird feeders but I am exploring other options as I miss the hollies I use to have. These are definitely on my list! Thanks so much.

We love the look of hollies, but dang those pointy leaves! Our neighbors have a holly and those little bugger leaves are such a nuisance.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone🍹🍗🥗🍲 Thanks Jenny for that tip about planting trees in clay soil because I have to plant a sandalwood sapling this weekend.🌲💞

Yes, those chick a dees are upset! They will love this new area!

Great video. Loved it looking fantastic. Thank you so very much for sharing.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Looks great! I found a holy bush in our woods that we cleared under brush this past year and I am hoping to transplant it the next couple days or this weekend! Lol hugs and love from Texas!

Nellie stevens hollys. Don’t grow as fast as reported. I like these

Love it!! Looks so nice. My husband helps me too. You two are a great team!!❤️

Love what y'all are doing. You guys teamwork continues to inspire me 🌻🌻🌻

looks great yall great job beautiful hollies cant hardly wait til about three years from now it is going to magnafik

I love Oakland Hollies! We got one last year and it is beautiful and thriving here in North Alabama. I want more lol! Everything looks great, Jenny. Happy Thanksgiving!🦃🍁🍽

I planted a few Oakland Hollies on my fence line. Wish they were as big as yours! They were 3 gallon plants. Hopefully they luck into the growing gear this Spring. They’ve been in about a year.

There must be so many pottery shops around there. That clay is so beautiful. I'm sand where I am.

Love this video. Thanks for sharing. Just planted two Oaklands myself. 💜🧡💜

Happy Thanksgiving!

I love those Hollies Ms Jenny and Mr. Jerry. Looking beautiful. Be safe and well. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

We live in an area of Canada that has blue clay, that holds so much moisture that when we're trying to auger into it it's hard making one whole let alone 4 holes.

So pretty! Your visions are coming to life! Definitely satisfying to limb up trees. Did Jerry ask Santa for a wood chipper for Christmas? 😃

Really enjoyed my visit to your beautiful nursery! Such a peaceful, gorgeous property,,,, there is no place like that here in St. Louis🌺

Great job always nice to get another project out of the way .... !!! .... Just wondering ... do you and Jerry put out a lot of Christmas decorations .... ??? .... I like to ... however this year seems so short ( maybe it's just me ) ... Up after Thanksgiving and down on New Years day ..... !!!! .... Hugs ..... Happy Thanksgiving ... !!!

Love watching all your projects. Happy Thanksgiving to all your family!❤️

Please tell us about the pole pruner. I think I need one! The edger is fabulous, too.

👋😃

Not a fan of Holly's because planted too close to the house! Spot on. Our flowerbed with the bendy white wedding hydrangeas was 6 over grown too close to the house roots the size of your arm spider mite infested messy Holly's. You just made me hate holly less lol . Love it!

Whoa! Link to that edger?! That would be a back saver for sure!!!

Jenny, did I miss you watering them in after planting them?

Because you're on a slope don't you need to make a rim of dirt around the bottom and to each side to hold moisture and dirt from washing away? That's what we were always told

Oakland hollies are my favorite evergreen holly! Not prickly like most.

Happy Thanksgiving! What kind / brand of edger is this? Did a really nice edge. My apologies if I've missed it in the video.

I love hollies and want some on my 1.25 ac. (...zone 4), in Vermont. May be next year. A battery pole saw weighs less and no smell. We are circled by woods and near the mountain can be very windy ... pole saw is great getting broken limbs. Late, are you adding some bulbs / flowers around the hollies ? You two have a good day. :+)

Thank you for this video. Why do you need so much mulch? Aesthetic value?

Sometimes I wish I had clay soil, my soil in Maryland is very Sandy and doesn’t hold on to water 🥲

I planted coppery on virburnums as a privacy screen but put them five feet from center to center (since the width is supposed to be 6ft). Since I live in zone 9a southern Louisiana I didn’t want to have to worry about air flow issues and diseases with them being too close. I just planted them a few months ago. Is it worth it to dig them up and move or should I look for something to plant in front of the hedge line to sort of cover that space? Thank you for any recommendations

First one too close to gravel parking area, but o.k. off the tree edge?

If the trees are 12 wide you should have planted them 12 feet apart. Each one will be six feet from the center. If they are only 6ft apart they are going to crowd each other out. Six ft from center for each tree and the will still touch. Jenny I think your math was off.

Is it really true that Oakland Hollies are not prickly? I would love to add some to my yard!!!

We have looked at using Holly trees for privacy screens in our backyard but we worry about our dogs eating the berries. Anyone have experience with this?

Conheço ??🌿

Will deer eat the hydrangeas?

The maple tree looks like a charley brown tree

U don't amend the soil at all??

Needs water
