A mix of privet and ilex holly offers a twist on the typical LA-ficus hedgerow. By using more than one plant species, we garner some of the protective qualities biodiversity as well as charming variations in texture and color.
California native Catalina Cherry, Lemonade Berry, and Oregon Grape are also great hedge and privacy screen options.
