Garden Designs For Privacy

If you live in an apartment building, your front yard is a great place to establish privacy. It is not unusual for neighbors to view your home, disrupt your view, or interfere with your outdoor dining experience. A tall fence may not be sufficient if you have neighbors who live very close to your home. You have many options for privacy that don't make your neighbor look unwelcoming. Hanging plants make a great alternative if time is limited and you don’t want to take care of the yard.

Although pots are a great way to add privacy, they can be quite expensive. You can plant a variety of tall decorative grasses or flowers in large planters in the front yard. This will keep your neighbors away from your front door, and it will also help to block out your neighbor’s view of your garden. It will also attract attention to other parts in your yard. Planting a variety can provide privacy and a sense of security.

Plants can create privacy and stop people from seeing you. Privacy panels are a great option for privacy. A pergola attached on your deck or porch can add privacy and climbing plants to the lattice panels. To give your yard an eclectic look, you can plant several large planters that contain different plants.

Decorative plants in planters can also be a good way to create privacy. Large planters are suitable for tall grasses and flowers. Planters can be placed in rows on your porch or another area. These plants will offer the same privacy as shrubs but are much cheaper. Be aware of the cost for potting soil when you are choosing plants to plant in your front yard. A small amount of potting earth can be purchased for as low as $10. You can also plant bamboo or ornamental trees to save money.

Greenery can be used to make a private area. A shed can be used to store your garden tools and pool toys. You can also construct a cabana to protect your privacy. You can add a gate to your driveway or fence. Planting tall plants in your front yard will give you privacy. In some cities, a fence may be necessary.

Adding privacy to the front yard can be as simple as adding more plants. A wood lattice fence makes a great choice. This fence will keep children safe but still allow for neighbors to say hello. A green hedge also adds privacy. The wooden lattice fencing is not the only option. Garden privacy can be more than a fence. A fence can be replaced by a garden.
