Pasadena has hedged its gardens for a century — the estates of Orange Grove and the Arroyo built California's formal-garden tradition, and the bones are still visible.
Species with history here
Privet is Pasadena's period hedge, correct beside Craftsman and Colonial Revival architecture alike. Ficus takes the tall privacy work along busier streets. Cypress suits the Mediterranean revivals near the Langham. Summer heat is real: drip establishment matters more than at the coast.
Local notes
Landmark districts (Bungalow Heaven among them) review streetscape changes — front-yard plantings deserve a code check. Parkway trees are city-protected; hedge lines plant inside them, which our layout accounts for.
