planting zebra grass-need advice

i have ordered 25 4 inch potted zebra grass (strictus). I plan on planting them along the property line to maake a hedge. The problem is that the property line has 4 huge pines along it. I cut up the branches to allow a few hours of sunlight i hope. I raked away all the pine needles and dug a 40 ft long trench cutting out any roots 9tons). The dirt is compact, and even a light clay like down about 12inches. It gets plenty of water from the driveway slope runoff.. so is the soil too acidic? Should i add lime to the soil first. Should i buy some bags of topsoil from home depot and use that to fill. How far apart to palnt them? I want the quickest wall possible. Can i plant them now in central massachusetts? around sept 20th? thanks for any advice.
