How to Protect Your Backyard Privacy

By Anonymous -


Having a private backyard is certainly one of the finer things in life. As the summer starts getting into full swing, you’re probably hoping to have outdoor gatherings that you can enjoy with just your guests and not random neighbor-onlookers. There are a variety of ways to make your yard more private—it all depends on how quickly you want full privacy in your yard.

Plant More Trees

One of the best ways to add more privacy to your yard is to plant trees. While it’s true that trees take a while to grow, some trees grow faster than others. You could even try planting hedges.

 

A shrub called North Privet is one of the fastest-growing hedges in North America and can grow up to three feet in a year. That means that in a couple of years you could have a tall hedge that would provide you complete privacy in your yard.

 

Install a Fence

Installing a fence is one of the best and most immediate ways to get privacy in your yard. There are a variety of kinds of fences that you could go with. You should explore different fence options for your backyard.

 

Some fences prevent more visibility of your yard than others but sometimes the styles of those fences might not match your home’s style as well. Figure out how to strike the right compromise between getting the most privacy for your yard and still sticking with the design and feel of your home. In the end, an ugly fence might draw the eyes of onlookers more than not having one in the first place.

 

Install a Retractable Screen

In addition to installing a fence, you can add other features to your backyard to make particular sections of the yard more private. For example, if you want to give the patio a more secluded feel, consider installing a retractable screen.

 

These screens come in a variety of sizes and styles and some can be portable as well allowing you to adjust them to wherever you need or want them.

 

While these methods of achieving backyard privacy are incredibly effective, there are additional methods you should consider as well. You can add large pots or planters with tall grasses, or you could even add umbrellas that can be angled to block others from seeing you. Do your research to find the best solution for you.

    This privacy landscaping option may offer year-round screening and is often not constrained by height restrictions imposed by local governments. Fast-growing columnar evergreens like Italian cypress and arborvitae or a shorn privet hedge can offer a practical option for dividing adjacent yards or obstructing views out of kitchen windows where space is at a premium, as in a side yard.
