Evergreen screens can fail for reasons that are set in motion on installation day: bad spacing, poor soil prep, weak watering follow-through, or unrealistic expectations about immediate privacy. The best screening results usually come from getting the basics right early.

Match the installation to the site conditions

What homeowners should remember
The best evergreen screens usually succeed because the installation choices matched the long-term goal from the start.
