I need some advice on how far to plant shrubs apart to make a dence hedge. Is there a rule for spacing them that can be determined from their mature width?

Yes, you plant them based on their mature width, on center. So if a
bush gets ten feet wide, you'd plant the shrubs ten feet apart or ten
feet on center. I hope I articulated that well. Of course you can
deduct a foot or two if you want them to meet sooner.
