My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Green Velvet Boxwood hedge Spacing

11 years ago

I have purchase 12 Green velvet Boxwoods to form a small hedge around a bed in my yard. Could anyone give me recommendations on spacing. I know it will take a season or two to get them large enough to trim in to a hedge but need help on spacing while they are small. They are all in 1 gallon containers. Just picked them up from a big box store today.
