FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what people ask most about Ficus hedges, sizing, and installation.
- How fast do Ficus hedges grow?
- Once established, Ficus Nitida typically puts on 2–3 feet of vertical growth per year in Southern California. Starter trees planted at 6 ft often reach 10–12 ft within two seasons with proper watering and care.
- What sizes of Ficus trees do you sell?
- We grow and deliver everything from 5-gallon starter Ficus up through 15 ft+ mature specimen trees. Most privacy hedge installs use trees between 6 ft and 12 ft tall.
- How much does a Ficus privacy hedge cost?
- Pricing depends on tree size, quantity, and how far the delivery is. Because we're the grower, our pricing is wholesale-direct. Call (747) 353-3622 or email jay.ayala444@gmail.com with photos of your space for a quote.
- Do you deliver and plant, or just sell the trees?
- Both. We sell wholesale to landscape contractors and homeowners, and we also handle full installs — delivery, planting, staking, and cleanup — from start to finish.
- What areas do you serve?
- We serve Los Angeles County, Riverside County, and Orange County, including Beverly Hills, Calabasas, Hollywood Hills, Pasadena, Long Beach, Anaheim, Irvine, Riverside, Corona, Temecula, Palm Springs, and surrounding cities.
- How close should I plant Ficus trees for a privacy hedge?
- For a solid privacy wall, we typically plant Ficus 3 ft apart center-to-center. Closer spacing fills in faster; wider spacing saves on tree count but takes longer to close up.
- Will Ficus roots damage my pool, foundation, or sewer line?
- Ficus roots can be aggressive. We'll advise on safe distances from pools, foundations, and main lines based on your specific site — and root barriers are an option in tight installs.
- Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
- Yes. We can take care of trimming and shaping for hedges we've installed, and we provide care guidance so your hedge stays dense and healthy long-term.
