How much does it cost to plant hedges?

Very much depends on the plants and how big they are. You would need a minimum of 40 for a dense hedge at half meter spacing. So 40 x the price of the plants. Nice 1m tall established plants could be $50-$100 each so $2000-4000 for instant hedge.

Why wont my Minecraft trees grow?

Most trees in Minecraft will not grow when there is a block next to them. This can be something as small as a torch. You'll need to make your room larger. Large oak trees need 4-14 blocks of open space above the sapling, but otherwise can be completely enclosed on all sides.
