A Sweet Project - Building A Hedge Maze

[Arthur Heath]

Hey guys, I just finished up a cool project at my uncles house. We built a hedge maze consisting of:
1,200 arborvitaes
84 cubic yards of sand ( 6 FULL dump truck loads)
2, 12 hour days
1 terrible sunburn

We took this:

and made this:

Arborvitaes grow at a foot a year and they are spread at 12" per plant, so it will take a year or so to fill out.

Dead tiring, but fun as hell.

Beautiful.
You guys made an amazing work. I could work in that garden all day long. It's so nice.

That'll be amazing when it grows in. How tall do they usually top out at?
