Privacy screens are the most-requested service in Riverhead, and for good reason — a row of Green Giant or Emerald Green Arborvitae quickly transforms a property line into a year-round natural barrier.

Riverhead tree planting FAQ
Cost depends on tree size, species, and site access. Most residential projects fall between $300 and $1,200 per installed tree including delivery, planting, mulch, and staking. We provide free written estimates so you know exactly what you're getting before any work begins.
Green Giant Arborvitae, Emerald Green Arborvitae, Leyland Cypress, and Norway Spruce are the top performers. Green Giants grow fastest, Emerald Greens stay narrow and tidy, and spruce add bulk and winter color.
Spring (March–early June) and fall (September–November) are ideal on Long Island. Cooler temperatures and consistent moisture help roots establish before summer heat or winter freeze. That said, with proper care we plant successfully through most of the year.
It depends on the species. Emerald Green Arborvitae go in roughly 3 feet apart, Green Giants 5–8 feet apart, Leyland Cypress 6–10 feet apart. We'll lay out the spacing on site so you get a solid screen without crowding the roots.
