How to Plant a Windbreak
Before you pick up a shovel, draw a plan of your windbreak, taking into consideration the direction of the wind and location of nearby structures. Windbreaks can be straight lines of trees or curved formations. They may be several rows thick, or just a single row. If you only have room for one row, choose lush evergreens for the best density. Make a plan.
Once you decide on the best alignment of trees and shrubs, stake out reference lines for the rows. For a three-row windbreak, the inside row should be at least 75' from buildings or structures, with the outside row 100 to 150' away. Within this 25 to 75' area, plant rows 16 to 20' apart for shrubs and conifers and no closer than 14' for deciduous trees. Within rows, space trees so their foliage can mature and eventually improve the density.
