Planted Right. Grown to Last.

Privacy Trees To Block Neighbor's Views

We create privacy for less. We are one of the few tree companies in Georgia that runs and operates an evergreen tree farm. Producing and then replanting our trees not only means there is no middle man markups but tree specifically grown to be adapted to Georgia's environment.


We help you choose the right species for your location, prep the soil properly, and plant with care so your trees have a healthy head start and thrive for decades to come. Beautify and gain the privacy you need with our Evergreen trees planted to survive and to stop prying eyes!

We appreciate our customers...

“The guys at Dusty's Trees treated my yard like their own. They didn’t just plant a tree—they explained the why, the how, and clear instruction to make sure it’ll last. Highly recommend Dusty and his crew!”

Commonly Asked Questions

  • What’s the best time to plant trees in North Georgia?

    The ideal time is late fall through early spring. Deciduous trees become dormant meaning they’re less stressed by transplanting and ready to grow as soon as warmer weather returns.

  • Do I need to amend the soil or add compost to the hole?

    Good question! It is recommended to use native soil for backfilling to avoid over-saturation of key nutrients. Adding compost or organic amendments can hold too much moisture, which may damage roots.
