Enhance your property's privacy, beauty, and value with Hilltop Masonry & Landscaping. We provide professional Privacy Hedge & Privacy Tree Installation in Dutchess County, NY, helping homeowners create natural privacy screens that blend seamlessly into their landscapes. With 41 years of experience serving the Hudson Valley region, we understand which trees and shrubs thrive locally and how to design long-lasting privacy solutions tailored to each property.
Privacy hedge and tree installation is one of the most effective ways to create a natural barrier between your property and neighboring homes, roads, or commercial areas. Unlike traditional fencing, living privacy screens continue to grow and improve over time while enhancing the overall appearance of your landscape.
Our services include evergreen privacy screen installation, fast growing privacy trees, dense hedge planting, and complete privacy barrier landscaping solutions. We carefully select plant varieties based on your property's conditions, privacy goals, and long-term maintenance preferences.
A properly designed privacy planting project can provide year-round screening, noise reduction, wind protection, and increased property value.


Natural privacy landscaping offers benefits that extend far beyond visual screening.
One of the biggest advantages is increased privacy. Strategic tree and shrub placement helps block unwanted views from neighboring properties while creating a more peaceful outdoor environment.
Privacy plantings also improve curb appeal. Mature hedges, evergreens, and ornamental screening plants create attractive landscape features that complement your home's architecture.
Many homeowners appreciate the environmental benefits as well. Trees and shrubs help reduce noise, filter dust, provide wildlife habitat, and improve outdoor comfort throughout the year.
Unlike traditional fencing, living privacy barriers become more attractive as they mature, creating long-term value for your property.

I hired Hilltop to reconstruct the planters in front of my house. The landscaping team was very professional and planted a variety of different plants and bushes that highlighted and brought bright colors to the front of the house. I highly recommend Hilltop for their outstanding landscaping services.
This was our first landscape project with Hilltop and they exceeded our expectations. Glenn was very knowledgeable and helped make our vision a reality. We loved how it came out and are already looking forward to the next project. Highly recommend Hilltop!
Fantastic experience with Glenn the owner and his team. They installed a 2 foot berm and a large privacy hedge plus removed an overgrown juniper and planted a Japanese Maple all in 8 hours. Looks amazing. Glenn makes excellent recommendations.
Most privacy planting projects can be completed within one to several days depending on the size of the installation and site conditions. Larger projects involving extensive residential privacy planting or multiple screening zones may require additional time. During your consultation, we provide a clear timeline so you know exactly what to expect throughout the installation process.
The ideal privacy trees depend on your property's conditions and goals. Fast growing privacy trees such as Green Giant Arborvitae, Leyland Cypress, and certain evergreen varieties are popular choices. We evaluate soil conditions, drainage, sunlight exposure, and available space before recommending the most suitable options for long-term success.
Costs vary depending on plant selection, installation size, site accessibility, and overall project complexity. Larger specimens and specialty plant varieties generally require greater investment. We provide personalized estimates based on your property's specific needs and privacy objectives to ensure complete transparency.
Growth rates vary by species, planting size, and site conditions. Some fast growing privacy trees can provide noticeable screening within a few years, while slower-growing varieties may take longer. We often recommend a combination of plant types to provide immediate visual impact and long-term screening benefits.
New privacy plantings require regular watering during the establishment period. Ongoing maintenance may include seasonal pruning, mulching, fertilization, and monitoring for pests or diseases. We provide detailed care instructions and recommendations to help ensure healthy growth and long-term success.
Yes. While privacy plantings are primarily designed for screening, dense hedge planting and evergreen privacy screen installation can also help reduce noise levels. Multiple rows of trees and shrubs often provide greater sound reduction while enhancing the overall appearance of your property.
