How Much Does It Cost to Plant Privacy Trees in North Georgia?
The cost of installing privacy trees can vary quite a bit depending on the size of the project, the type of trees you choose, and the conditions of your property.
At Dusty’s Trees, we grow and install many of our own trees, which helps us provide high-quality privacy trees without the added nursery middleman. Several factors can affect the final cost of your privacy tree installation:
- Tree Size
Larger, more mature trees typically cost more because they require more time, equipment, and care to transport and install. They can also provide more immediate privacy.
- Tree Species
Different privacy trees have different growing characteristics, availability, and pricing. We can help you choose trees that are well suited for North Georgia and your specific property.
- Number of Trees
The total number of trees needed depends on the length of the area you want to screen, the size of the trees, and the recommended spacing between them.
- Property Access
Easy access can make installation more efficient. Narrow gates, steep slopes, fenced areas, or limited equipment access may require additional labor or specialized equipment.
- Equipment Required
Some projects can be completed with standard planting equipment, while larger trees or difficult locations may require additional machinery.
- Grading & Site Preparation
Uneven terrain, drainage issues, existing landscaping, stump removal, or other site preparation can affect the overall cost of the project.
- Delivery Distance
Delivery costs can vary depending on how far your property is from our tree farm and the equipment needed to transport your trees safely.
How Fast Can Your Privacy Screen Grow?
Choose a privacy tree, starting size and desired height to see how your new natural privacy screen could develop over time.
Green Giant Arborvitae
Estimated growth: about 3 feet per year
Starting with a healthy 6-foot Green Giant Arborvitae, your trees could approach your desired privacy height after approximately five growing seasons under favorable conditions.

What Our Customers Say

What's the Difference Between a Farm-to-Yard North Georgia Tree Planting & Landscape Service and the Average Landscaping Company?
Not every tree and landscape company treats your property the same way. Dusty's Tree & Landscape Service is a locally owned crew with its own evergreen tree farm, serving homeowners, farms and businesses across North Georgia from Buford and Cumming.
| Feature | Dusty's Tree & Landscape (Farm-to-Yard) | Average Landscaping Company |
|---|---|---|
| Where the Trees Come From | Grown on our own evergreen tree farm right here in North Georgia. No nursery middleman and no extra markup. | Usually buys from wholesale nurseries and passes the markup along. You often won't know how the trees were grown. |
| Trees Suited to Georgia | Trees grown and selected to handle North Georgia red clay and USDA Zones 7 and 8. | Often plants whatever is in stock that week, whether it suits your site or not. |
| Choosing & Spacing | On-site look at soil, drainage, sunlight and mature width before we recommend a tree. Spacing is planned so your privacy screen fills in without crowding. | Can plant trees too close for a quick look, which leads to crowding and uneven growth later. |
| Planting Done Right | Correct depth, careful root-ball handling and no root circling. We lay the first layer of mulch and walk you through aftercare. | Sometimes digs fast and moves on, leaving aftercare up to you. |
| Tree Moving | Mature trees relocated with a tree spade or crane, plus staged root pruning and an aftercare plan on larger moves. Keep the tree you already have. | Usually can't move a mature tree, so the answer is often to cut it down and plant a smaller one. |
| One Crew, Whole Property | Tree planting, fencing, land clearing, grading, drainage, sod and hydroseeding, from rough ground to finished lawn. | Often subcontracts the heavy work, so you end up coordinating several crews. |
| Grading & Drainage | Grading and drainage planned together so water moves away from your home and soil stays in place. | Can smooth the dirt without solving where the water goes. |
| Privacy Now & Later | Wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain link fencing, paired with privacy trees when you need privacy today and a living screen for years to come. | Usually offers a fence or trees, not a plan that combines both. |
| Honest, Local Service | Locally owned, licensed and insured, with more than a decade in North Georgia. Honest quotes, clear communication and a clean jobsite. | Can mean pushy sales, vague estimates and a crew that's hard to reach after the job. |

“Dusty’s Trees installed a row of Leyland cypress around our medical office, and the difference was immediate. The trees gave the property more privacy and made the landscaping look much more complete.

A Note from the Owner of Dusty's Tree & Landscape Service
“We started as a small, family-run operation, and we still run things that way. For more than ten years we've been planting trees, moving trees, building fences and shaping land for our neighbors across North Georgia.
We grow many of our own trees on our evergreen tree farm, so we know how they were raised before they ever reach your yard. Whether it's one shade tree in Buford, a privacy row in Cumming or a commercial planting in Gainesville, you'll get clear communication, fair pricing and no surprises.
If you've got a project in mind or just want to talk through your options, give us a call. We'd be glad to come take a look.”
— Dusty, Owner
