A local guide to using Arborvitae and evergreen structure for privacy screening on Vineyard properties.
What Vineyard Property Owners Should Know
Privacy is a system
A good screen includes plant choice, spacing, soil preparation, irrigation, protection, and a maintenance plan.
Deer pressure matters
Many Vineyard sites need protection or alternative planting because deer browsing can damage young screens.
Spacing depends on goals
Tighter spacing creates faster density, while wider spacing can support better long term plant health.
Watering is critical
New evergreen screens need establishment water and monitoring through dry periods.
Local Planning Notes
Martha's Vineyard screens must account for wind, salt air, sandy soils, deer pressure, property lines, views, and how seasonal homes are monitored when owners are away.
