That was an amazing transformation! Instant hedge indeed, I didn't know you could get them like that, already preplanted in sections! That was so cool to watch how fast you can get a wall/screen of arborvitae!
Danielle, I have been loving your channel and learning from you about gardening for over two years now. I have never posted comments before, but I just could not resist, after hearing your story about the police being called on you. Your garden looks like a piece of heaven, and I always turn on your videos for inspiration when I get discouraged in the garden. I love the hedge and the peace it has given you and your family, but I just wanted to say that your space was gorgeous even before that. You work so hard on your space and have sprinkled beauty in every corner (that I can see in videos). Please, don't let anyone bring you down! I have only been gardening for six or seven years and it's so easy to get discouraged when things don't work out. If people can complain about your gorgeous space, then we beginners, would have no hope at all! Please, keep doing what you are doing and don't let anyone ever make you doubt that you have created anything less than perfection! The hedge is just a beautiful bonus to everything that you have created so far!!
I so empathize with you and having horrible neighbors has plagued us too, so we did move to 10 acres but still have neighbors 600 ft. away. Still have some lack of privacy on our 900 ft driveway with 2 properties. We love your inspiring Instant Hedge and will save for our own. So glad you shared your trials and solutions!! Well done looks so great!!
IT. IS. GORGEOUS! Making the decision to stay will bring you peace. Knowing that you are staying allows you to make more permanent decisions. Your neighbors are lucky ☘️
Your new hummingbird screen + the Instahedge are an absolute game changer! I am so happy this has helped you gain more peace and privacy in your beautiful garden. What a beautiful sanctuary you have created!
Danielle, I've been a fan of yours for over two years now but I don't think I've ever posted a comment. I've come to love, from a distance, your grandmother's garden, Grace's garden, the Hydrangea room, etc. and am so glad that you and your family won't be leaving. I'm a 75 year old woman gardening in zone 4b, Montana. The hedge looks amazing, by the way.
Great hedge, great story : I am glad you are settled at the very place you meant to leave eventually, it would be a shame to leave the garden you have put so much love and work into.
We lived on a corner lot about 30 years ago. The lot was large and at an entrance to our subdivision. The side yard was on the neighborhood street, not a busy street with lots of traffic. Fast forward to 2023. Our backyard is bounded by a golf course fairway with the cart path just on the other side of the property line. More people see my backyard than my front yard, which is on a quiet cul-de-sac. There are lots of property restrictions, which we knew about when we bought the house. I did not realize at the time how negatively these restrictions would impact my hopes for my yard. After tornadoes associated with a hurricane totally transformed (mangled) our backyard from a dappled shade space to a tilted soccer field, we have less privacy than we did when we purchased the house. I have great neighbors, but I would like to move, but my husband doesn't want to at this point. So I garden in the backyard, but I can't sit out there and enjoy it because it's too hot now, and golf balls come whizzing into the yard. I don't have a nightmare yard, I just don't have the peaceful space I had before the hurricane changed everything. I live on the southeastern NC coast, zone 8a.
Hopefully you can do something like Danielle did if that would fit into your community rules and your budget! Your peace, safety and security are worth it!
So happy for you Danielle, you’ve got your own little “PRIVATE” piece of paradise and your excitement at NOT seeing the cars go by nearly made me cry. 🥹😍
Your garden is absolutely beautiful and so peacefully serene. I can see the pure joy in your face, I am so happy for you. I am a first time homebuyer. When I bought my home 5 years ago I had the mindset that i would be here a couple years due to the fact that that it was not the area I really wanted to be in but what my budget allowed for. Unfortunately with high interest rates, home prices that have skyrocketed plus the lack of inventory- the market is not in my favor so I will have to wait another couple years or so. My house lacks privacy with having 2 story apartments, the apartments unsightly dumpster, their parking lot, in addition to nosy neighbors all facing my backyard yard. I dont even want to be in my back or side yard. I truly hope I can create a beautiful space like this that will make me happy and enjoy being in my space.
The fencing and hedging look so beautiful! I am so happy that you and your family have privacy and feel at peace! I love your videos and I appreciate all of your hard work to share your gardens with us!
You look like a princess sitting in all those beautiful hydrangeas in full bloom (in the beginning of the video)! Just beautiful those pink, blush and white colors!
You and your husband did so much work to make this hedge put in place and you're right, it will change the whole usefulness and function of your outdoor space. It looks great and having privacy now is so important plus a way to keep Grace in place too! None of us need to be able to have people see into our private spaces. Glad you shared this information and look forward to seeing how well it does for you.
Love the hedge! I am in ON Canada, I will check to see if that is available here. My neighbour and I both are working to create more privacy and peace in our yards. Thank you for posting! Eileen🍁🇨🇦😊
Perfect!!! Plants always make the best privacy fencing, instead of feeling like you're fenced in! The hummingbird panels/fencing? are absolutely the answer for your situation! The curb appeal that you have created now, is just gorgeous!!! I'm glad you have made a little paradise that you love enough to stay!!!
What great timing on this info my sister just moved across from me and we are looking up this hedge. Will love to hear more about the progress and health of this planting please.
Danielle, I enjoyed your update on your housing search, and why the instant hedge is so significant. ☺ It does look beautiful and immediately solved your problem. We, too have a corner lot but with 2 driveways (!!), a small sideyard, a large sloping front yard with no privacy, and absurdly restrictive bylaws on fencing. Fortunately we are on a quiet main road and don't need instant privacy. To make better use of our property I have planted the inside boulevard with large sun-loving perennials and annuals to frame the house and yard. We are now planting various native and ornamental mid-sized shrubs at the dominant corner to provide privacy and attractive views of the house and from the house. We are including some evergreens for winter interest. Selecting plants from what is available and determing how to place them has been at least as challenging as digging them in! Good for you for doing the research and the work and posting your progress!🎉
The transformation is incredible! I love how the arborvitae hedge creates such a beautiful dark backdrop for the lighter colored hostas, etc. in the shade garden. So happy for you!
Wow… this is a game changer for sure… the garden looks amazing !!! Your channel is one of the best on U tube… so much I learned over the years !!! Thanks for sharing.. # 1 fan from Pittsburgh Gene
That is SO COOL! And BEAUTIFUL as always.❤. I know it would be ABSOLUTELY difficult to leave a home that you have developed into your dreams. That's where I'm at. ALL the work that has been previously done has been for when I'm older that I can wonder about, admire,smell the fragrances and yank a weed when needed. ENJOY your paradise, it's beautiful.
Danielle, I am so happy for you and your family. You seem at peace with the decision to stay put and excited to put down permanent roots. The hedge looks beautiful and will hopefully provide the sanctuary you long for. Cheers.
So, so happy for you and your husband! Our yard is also almost completely surrounded by arbs and we love it too for privacy. Our back yard is a woodland garden and we love it! Enjoy!!
That is something of beauty right there.... how amazing... I didn't think this was what the video was going to be! Love the hummingbird fence and those arbs are gorgeous!
So happy for you and I’m glad you have no plans to move right now cuz I’ve been watching your videos and I will truly miss your garden if you move somewhere else.
I live on a corner lot as well, and deal with many of the same issues. Although we were fortunate to move in with a pre-existing privet hedge, we also know that it will not live forever and have worried about what we’re going to do when it finally dies-A wrought iron fence or similar will not cut it!! I love the work you have done to your yard and I really appreciate that you take real-world budget into consideration. It makes it feel doable and not simply aspirational and unattainable. Thank you for your knowledge and for offering something different than many gardening channels. I have taken a number of your suggestions over the years and have really elevated my garden to something that people passing by stop to photograph (which still shocks me! ) Looking forward to seeing how the hedge matures and the eventual keyhole garden project! 💚
The hedge looks great, and it was so exciting to watch you be all happy when a car would pass by and you couldn't see it. Yeii. Glad you are enjoying your private garden, privacy and that Grace can safely play in the backyard.
I need this Insta Hedge in my life after my neighbor had the gaul to hire a company to cut underneath my beautiful pine tree without my knowledge. I put up an expensive privacy fence, but it could only be 4ft under the tree. I now have a tarp hanging in my tree, just so I can have privacy. Thank you for posting this video and I’m so happy for you that you can completely enjoy your garden.
WOW! I've never seen the hummingbird custom fence, it's gorgeous!!! but the transformation is beautiful, who knew you could buy a hedge, poof - instant hedge! love it, enjoy your space even more
What a great product. It is exactly what you needed to frame your garden as well as for privacy. Passersby will get a shock when Grace’s barking head pops through that hedge. 😂
This video was highly anticipated and it really delivered! 😍I think things really worked out and the evergreen hedge is much better than the picket fence. I ♥your garden with all the rooms. Excited to see what comes with the keyhole garden. Thanks for sharing!
Your excitement not seeing cars go by is my favorite part of the video!
Wow. I checked it out and it is very affordable roughly $100-150/linear foot. Thank you!
Privacy and a sense of peace is so very important.
The hedge is amazing! I’m so happy for you all! I’ve always thought your garden is so dreamy. Now you can enjoy your hard work in peace!💖
Bloom where your planted. 🌸
That was an amazing transformation! Instant hedge indeed, I didn't know you could get them like that, already preplanted in sections! That was so cool to watch how fast you can get a wall/screen of arborvitae!

So cute to see you appreciate traffic being drowned out! Joy in the mundane is a special thing.
You are precious. I’m so happy for you and your family. I always enjoy your positivity.
Wow! What a difference to your garden. Good job. And thank you for sharing your story with us.
That dog poking its face through the fence 😂… classic!
Your new hummingbird screen + the Instahedge are an absolute game changer! I am so happy this has helped you gain more peace and privacy in your beautiful garden. What a beautiful sanctuary you have created!
I love the Hummingbird screen.
Thank you for sharing your private side and your ideas.

I have never seen mini hedges I will have a look here for ideas thanks wonderful look congratulations it is totally transformational

Oof the golf balls whizzing into the yard sounds like a real hazard! Sorry for your loss of peace, glad to hear you’re making the best of it.
Hopefully you can do something like Danielle did if that would fit into your community rules and your budget! Your peace, safety and security are worth it!
So happy for you Danielle, you’ve got your own little “PRIVATE” piece of paradise and your excitement at NOT seeing the cars go by nearly made me cry. 🥹😍
They is amazing!!! To stay where you at was meant to be!! So happy for you!!!!
🌸🌸
Just super that instant hedge! The trellis gence just all really turned out super!
Incredible. Well done to you and your husband.
Before we even get started, just let me say that your opening scene is simply breathtaking!!!
That's wonderful all around! May God be Praised and blessed for all trials and blessings Danielle❤

Absolutely beautiful! So happy for you! Your giant smile say it all! Congrats!
Congratulations!-🎊 I'm so happy for you.😊 And it looks like a magical cosy fairy garde., now.

That hedge is unreal!! Wow...everything is beautiful
How wonderful!!! Couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
That hedge is amazing and so much more beautiful than a fence.
I really enjoy to learn from you about how to design a cut flower garden😊
Thank you for this eye-opening video. It's been very helpful. You've got a paradisical garden space there!
You made a great choice with the instant hedge. I’ll take this idea to our new home in a new country. 😀
Love the hedge! I am in ON Canada, I will check to see if that is available here. My neighbour and I both are working to create more privacy and peace in our yards.
Thank you for posting!

I'm so glad it worked out for your privacy. I would hate to see you leave your beautiful garden. 😍
I feel you. I’m also on a corner lot and a busy road. What a great solution!
Yahoo !!! Thats is so awesome Danielle , so glad you are staying put and its all worked out. Love the instant fence / hedge 🤎🖤🤍

I too need privacy so I get how enjoyable being back there in the private garden feels. It's really spectacular!
You seem like such a dear person! I always enjoy your videos. The hedge looks wonderful. I can just imagine your happiness.
Love the hedge! That’s really cool how the grow them never seen that before👍😎❤️

Could not be happier for you and yours ❤ Settle in and enjoy 🏡
Glad you have the privacy now you wanted,thanks to the new hedge
Looking like a sanctuary Danielle!!!!

It looks amazing and I'm so glad you are staying. I've grown so fond of your garden that I would miss it if you moved.
Looked great before, but the natural green privacy screen is so lovely!
I need this Insta Hedge in my life after my neighbor had the gaul to hire a company to cut underneath my beautiful pine tree without my knowledge.
