Privacy Landscaping Ideas

Good privacy planting hides the fence as well as the neighbours. These designs use clipped hedges, columnar cypress and arborvitae, bamboo in steel planters and layered evergreen borders to make a yard feel enclosed without feeling walled in.

About this collection

Privacy Landscaping Ideas, explained.

Good privacy planting hides the fence as well as the neighbours. These designs use clipped hedges, columnar cypress and arborvitae, bamboo in steel planters and layered evergreen borders to make a yard feel enclosed without feeling walled in.

Mix heights and textures so the screen reads as a garden rather than a barrier, and check the mature size before you plant. Save the screening ideas that suit your climate and the speed you need.
