[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fast growing, dense evergreen trees planted close together.[/quote] Thanks. That’s part of the plan. I need advice on hardscape, tho. [/quote] There are special walls meant for sound-proofing. You should really look at the sound walls and things like it. Kind of like this- https://stonetreefence.com/sound-wall-noise-barriers.html I'd add thick, dense shrubs and layer them then add water features, like water fountains. American Pillar arborvitae + inkberry + viburnums/assorted native shrubs/Spicebush are what we're using nearest the noise. We're also adding taller trees closer to the house like black tupelo and sassafras for fall color and they are pretty narrow. I think it is important to have evergreen visual protection for year-round help. There are taller ones than American Pillar/Full Speed A Hedge, too, if you need it. The extra trees add extra sound absorption during the summer when we are actually outside. We're trying to make sure it looks nice and not just like we're trying to block sound so we're going for more decorative plants like Alabama Snow Wreath. Pawpaws have a nice fall color and tropical look to them, too. [/quote]
