Finally! finished the DIY Project Clusia plant front fence!....Yesterday (04/14/2016), I added more needed mulch....I planted a Clusia hedge plant to form a private fence when it grows (1 year to 1 1/2 year to grow) the same height as my front ornamental (black metal) fence.....
I got 3 different quotes from gardening contractors (materials and labor): 1st. quote $2,300.00...2nd. quote $2,500.000 and 3rd. quote $2,300.00. I told my wife if we can try it and do it ourselves!....Well, We spent only $700.00 in materials (Clusia plants, organic soil and mulch)...A total of 116 feet of planted Clusia plant front fence (124 Clusia plants 3 gal. each)....

This is what it will look when grows up!....A very nice and dense front private fence!...Just need to be trim to look like a private wall!....Safe for the kids to play!.....
