Plants can give your home some privacy.
You have a nice backyard and like to entertain company often. You might be having company over this weekend for a cookout, or some fun yard games. You’ve looked at your yard and realize that, while your yard is spacious and wide open, there is little in the way of privacy.
You’re not alone in your problem. Privacy is important to a lot of people. Many times people think that adding a fence can solve the problem of privacy, but sometimes they give a feeling of confinement. There are many ways that you can add privacy to your home, and natural landscaping is a great solution to the problem.
Adding plants to your land can add privacy, and improve natural beauty. With that in mind, here are some things to consider when you want to contact your local landscaping expert about how to improve the problem of privacy.
1. Planning — One of the quickest ways to save yourself time and money is to know what exactly your budget is. This will help your landscaper plan the best plants for your natural privacy screen. Landscapers love to know what exactly they can look for to help you out.
2. Preference — Do you want a more natural or manicured look? A landscaper can help you by suggesting what might look best if you’re not sure. Natural and manicured looks give very different kinds of beauty to your yard, so you’ll need to find out which works best for you.
3. Target — Why are you getting your screen? This is important to know, because your landscaper will know how to help you better when you know what exactly you’re trying to block out. Is it noise? Is it a business property line? Your neighbor checking his mail in his robe? It’s also important to consider how your privacy screen will influence your neighbor’s property. Juniper, spruce, pine, or green giant arborvitae work great for large plant screens.
4. Territory — Where are you wanting to plant this screen? Our team suggests that if you’re putting a screen around the perimeter of your property, then using a few large plants will do the job perfectly. If you’re wanting to screen something on the interior, like a patio, then we suggest using several small plants.
If you keep these things in mind, with the help of your landscaper, you can turn your home into the perfect place for you and your family to spend time together in privacy.
