Yes. Select cold-hardy palm species, notably Trachycarpus fortunei (Windmill Palm), are reliably cold-hardy in USDA Zone 7b, which covers Raleigh and much of the NC Triangle. Proper species selection and siting — particularly avoiding low-lying frost pockets and ensuring good drainage — are key factors in long-term survival.
What is the best privacy screening plant for shade?
Emily Bruner Holly is one of the best privacy screening trees for shaded areas in North Carolina. It performs reliably in conditions ranging from full sun to full shade, is deer resistant, and reaches mature heights of 20–25 feet. It is hardy in USDA Zones 6–9 and is well-adapted to the NC Piedmont climate.
How quickly can a privacy screen be installed?
In most cases, a complete privacy screen can be designed, plant material sourced, and installation completed within a few weeks of your initial consultation. The installation itself is typically completed in a single day for most residential screening projects.
What types of trees can be installed at mature heights?
We regularly install Southern magnolias, Japanese maples, crepe myrtles, hollies, arborvitae, cryptomeria, and cold-hardy palms at heights ranging from 8 to 20+ feet, depending on the species. During a site consultation, we can identify the specific sizes currently available in our inventory.
Do you offer landscape design for historic properties?
Yes, and it’s one of Christopher’s areas of particular expertise. His Master of Interior Architecture degree included a specialization in historic preservation, which gives him both the sensitivity and the technical knowledge to design landscapes that are appropriate to a historic property’s character and period. The firm has completed historic landscape restorations across North Carolina, working on properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places and with historically significant private estates.
