How can I design an effective windbreak for my garden?

To design an effective windbreak, consider the height, density, and type of plants. What is the size of your garden?

My garden is about 50 feet long and 20 feet wide. What plants should I use?

For a garden of that size, you might consider using tall shrubs like arborvitae or a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees. Do you want a natural look or something more structured?

I prefer a natural look. How far apart should I plant them?

For a natural look, plant them about 3 to 5 feet apart. This allows them to grow together and create a solid barrier. Would you like tips on maintenance?

Yes, what maintenance do these plants require?

Regular watering, especially in the first few years, and occasional pruning to maintain shape. Mulching can also help retain moisture.
