Hollywood Hedge Wall

The tall, dense, sheared-flat privacy wall made famous by the Hollywood Hills and Beverly Hills. This look is built from Indian Laurel (Ficus Nitida) in our larger sizes, planted close together and sheared into a single clean plane for total privacy from the street or a neighboring yard.

What Makes This Look Work

  • Larger starting sizes, 36-inch box or 48-inch box+ for a mature look from day one, rather than waiting years for a smaller tree to fill in.
  • Tight spacing, planted close together, tighter than a typical hedge, so the wall reads as one continuous plane rather than individual trees.
  • Flat, formal shearing, sheared into a single clean vertical plane, not a rounded natural hedge shape.

A Note on Root Safety

This look is built from Ficus, and Ficus roots can be aggressive. If your Hollywood hedge wall will run near a pool, foundation, driveway, or sewer line, ask us about safe planting distances for your specific site. Root barriers are available for tight installs.

Pair With Professional Installation

A Hollywood hedge wall lives or dies on precision, consistent depth, tight spacing, and a straight, level line. Our crew handles the full installation so the wall reads as one clean plane from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How tall does a Hollywood hedge wall get?

It depends on the starting size you choose. A 36-inch box tree starts at 10 to 12 feet, and a 48-inch box or larger starts at 12 to 16+ feet, both deliver a mature, instant-impact wall from day one.

How close together are the trees planted for this look?

Tighter than a typical hedge, we'll recommend exact spacing for your site, but plan on a tighter interval than the standard 3-foot spacing to get that single-plane look.

Is this look only Indian Laurel, or can I mix in other varieties?

As shown, it's built entirely from Indian Laurel for a uniform, formal wall. If you want a similar tall look with a softer texture, ask us about substituting Podocarpus Gracilior instead.

Will the roots damage my pool, foundation, or driveway?

Ficus roots can be aggressive. We'll advise on safe planting distances for your specific site, and root barriers are available for tight installs.

Do you deliver and plant this look, or just deliver the trees?

Both. You can order for delivery only, or add professional planting so our crew installs the full wall for you.
