How to Plant a Hedge
In the UK our landscape is crossed by tens of thousand of miles of hedges going back hundreds of years - or even longer. The majority of these were planted using very small plants, which we now call whips, and the variety of plants in the hedges has increased with time. Indeed it's possible to estimate the age of a hedge by measuring the number of different species in the hedge for every hundred metres.
The cheapest and easiest way to plant a modern hedge is to buy whips. Whips are small trees which normally have side branches, depending on the species. They are at least 2-3 years old and have been transplanted to ensure a compact and fibrous root system for successful planting. Nevertheless when you buy them they will probably look to you like sticks with a small bunch of roots on the end. They are purchased and planted in winter when the leaves are off the trees and don't look impressive at all. They are very cheap however and will soon leap into growth in the spring. Whips can be bought to suit your local conditions. Sandy soil mixes, clay mixes and chalky soil mixes are available and you can make up your own mixtures to suit your conditions and wishes. You will not find evergreen plants as whips as they do not lose their leaves or become dormant in the winter. If you want Holly or other evergreens you will have to buy them grown in small pots and they will be a little more expensive.
To plant whips you will first have to clear the ground. Small trees do not like to compete with weeds and grasses for the nutrients and moisture in the ground. You can get round this clearing to some extent with a mulch made of a modern landscape material which will suppress the weeds and keep the roots of these small plants moister in their first, critical growing season. If you have cleared the weeds then a mulch of bark or other natural material may fulfil this function just as well. The whips are usually planted at 5 plants per metre in two staggered rows about 30cm apart. Usually there is no need to feed these tough native species but it is vital to ensure that they don't succumb to drought in their first couple of growing seasons. A mulch will help but some watering may be needed.
New plants often need protection from deer and rabbits so cheap tubes and coils of plastic are readily available to act as guards until the plants are large enough to look after themselves. Hedges can be planted in several other forms which give more maturity from the start. These vary from larger individual plants in pots, through plants in troughs which are starting to grow together, to fully mature hedges knitted together and planted by professionals to give a truly instant effect. Within this great range there are all sorts of possibilities. You can buy large plants up to the size of small trees which will grow into each other to form a tall hedge or screen. These are available as trimmed plants or even as squared off units which will fit next to each other to give a continuous hedge almost from day one. These are especially effective when they are evergreens (though please note that, within the UK, neighbours and local authorities can object to evergreen hedges over 2m high and require you to cut them back). When you are dealing with these plants at large sizes be aware that they may be very heavy and difficult to handle, move and plant. Professional help and even machinery may be needed.
To prepare the ground for larger plants, or troughs with several plants in them, will be more complicated than for whips. Whips can often be planted simply by making a slit in the soil with a spade, placing the roots of the plant in the ground and firming them in with the heel. Larger plants and especially those in troughs or with enormous rootballs, need trenches or large holes. This can cause problems in heavy clay soils where a hole dug in the clay can become waterlogged and act effectively as a small pond. This would give very bad conditions for root growth so drainage at the bottom of the hole is essential before planting.
Rootballed plants come with their roots wrapped in hessian ready to be placed straight in the ground without unwrapping. These and plants in containers need firm ground around the roots to stop them swaying in the wind - a process which stops the roots from growing into close contact with the surrounding soil. In windy situations, and especially for large plants and evergreens, it may be necessary to restrict the movement of the plants by tying them to wires attached to tensioning bolts and braced fenceposts. This however is usually a job for professionals, not for someone attempting the job for the first time.
Feeding plants with slow release fertiliser is worthwhile but the number one essential is to avoid the roots of your new hedge drying out completely during the first year or two. An automatic watering system is the best way of ensuring this but, at any rate, vigilance and an effective back-up system for watering are vital.

what flowers could live in this area?
i have a place in my yard where theres noting but sand but i wanna plant some wildflowers there to make it look pretty because right now its just a bunch of grass and it looks bad there are also some evergreens intermixed in the landscape but i also dont really want to palnt them but if i absolutly have to plant the flowers i will other wise i would just like some seeds to throw out there... so if you have any advice that would be great!
Depending how sandy it is .....and where you live.....You might be able to just throw some seeds out....when you do...remember ...that depending on the soil and the age of the seeds....you would have to wait...sometimes until the following year.....
Go talk to someone around you who would know.....go talk to garden center of nursery person....it never hurts to ask question...and what they tell you...should be free
