The Best Shrubs for Property Lines
The Best Shrubs for Property Lines. Shrubs are often used as a screen to block unsightly property line views. Columnar shrubs are best because they grow in limited spaces without encroaching into the yard. Using evergreen forms provides year-round screening.

Blue Italian Cypress
Blue Italian cypress (Cupressus sempervirens 'Glauca') is an extremely tall and narrow form of Italian cypress. Reaching 40 feet, it is hardy Zones 7b through 11. It rarely grows wider than 3 feet.
Chinese Juniper
Chinese juniper (Juniperus chinensis 'Hetzii Columnaris') is a bright green, columnar evergreen that reaches 10 to 15 feet high and 4 to 5 feet wide. It has a fast growth habit and produces a heavy set of cones for winter interest.
Green Mountain Boxwood
Green mountain boxwood (Buxus sempervirens 'Green Mountain)' is notable for its oval form and dark green, fine-leaved evergreen foliage. Because it reaches only 3 feet high and wide, it can be planted under overhangs.
Hicks Hybrid Yew
Hicks hybrid yew (Taxus x media 'Hicksii') is a 20-foot high to 12-foot wide narrow yew with a slightly wider top than base. Hardy to Zone 4, it features glossy dark green foliage. Females produce berries, males have no fruit.
Skyrocket Juniper
Skyrocket juniper (Juniperus scopulorum 'Skyrocket') is rated safe under power lines and small-lot suitable by Washington State University experts. Growing to 14 feet tall and 2 feet wide, this silver-blue foliaged evergreen is hardy in Zones 4 to 7.
