Whether you&#8217;re installing a pool, building a deck or even just tying up a rope swing, there&#8217;s one thing that makes all of these upgrades that much better, privacy. Providing your outdoor living spaces with additional privacy allows you to bring the same comfort from the inside of your house to the outside making it all the more appealing to enjoy the outdoors. One of the most effective and non-intrusive ways to do so is through landscaping; however, not all of us know how to design our own landscape architecture.

Step outside and look around, are your neighbors looking back? Developing an outdoor living area with adequate privacy for you and your family to enjoy is essential and developing that right privacy screen will help enhance your outdoor environment, perhaps some shrubbery or ornamental trees are in order or how about a patio with decorative walls and a fireplace to help buffer the view, every project is different and every solution is unique, we can help design your ultimate outdoor experience! &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/ideallandscapeservices.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Ideal Landscapes<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Divide, distract and disappear<\/h2>\n<p>I have several methods I employ when trying to create privacy for a customer:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Divide:<\/strong>\u00a0Create a visual barrier and space between your home or outdoor living area and the offending view. This could be accomplished with strategic placement of large evergreens or a tall fence or structure placement. Recently, a small garage placement I was designing for a customer was placed in an area to screen an unsightly area of a neighbor\u2019s back yard. Then evergreens were added along the rest of the property line to fully screen it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Distract: <\/strong>Correct Placement of landscape elements in design can distract the viewer from an offending view. For example; placing a new patio away from the offending view or turning a walkway to lead in a direction away from the offending view. A new structure can be placed to turn it away from the view. Landscaping then can assist in screening and distracting from the view.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disappear<\/strong>: Landscaping and camouflage can help make the view disappear. If the object to screen happens to be on your site, such as an AC unit, it can be painted a color to be less visible to the eye. Then landscaping can be placed to draw your eye away from the object and make it disappear, instead of making it the central focal point. Also using several layers of evergreens in size and texture can make the offensive view disappear, depending on how much room you have. &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawkinsla.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Hawkins Landscape Architecture<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-70059 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/650-Joost-Ave_45-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/650-Joost-Ave_45-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/650-Joost-Ave_45-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/650-Joost-Ave_45-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/650-Joost-Ave_45-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/650-Joost-Ave_45-1-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/650-Joost-Ave_45-1-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/650-Joost-Ave_45-1-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Plant dense foliage that will grow together<\/h2>\n<p>Plant hedges or trees that will fill in between one another such as Arborvitae, Boxwoods and Holly Trees. The dense green foliage on these plants will provide great privacy screens. If you live in an area like Pennsylvania which has lots of deer, I recommend planting Green Giant Arborvitae as they are the most deer resistant. &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boltonlawncarellc.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Bolton Lawn Care<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Homeowners have a lot of great options when it comes to plants that provide privacy,\u201d said Jennah Holland, Business Unit Leader at KC Landscapes. \u201cMy personal favorites are green giant arborvitaes, emerald green arborvitae, junipers like guy rocket and bamboo. But if you use bamboo, it\u2019s important you contain it in some type of planter box because it\u2019s very invasive. Taller shrubs like burning bush can also be used as screening plants and its color is just gorgeous in the Fall. &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/kclandscapes.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">KC Landscapes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for fast privacy for your backyard, arborvitae can&#8217;t be beaten. Its dense foliage provides maximum privacy and these cold-hardy evergreens hold their color exceptionally well throughout winter. Arborvitae is low maintenance, tolerates a variety of soil conditions, and can be easily pruned to create hedges and privacy screens. &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gardengoodsdirect.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Garden Goods Direct<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Focus on exterior <em>and<\/em> interior privacy<\/h2>\n<p>Privacy in the\u00a0<span class=\"il\">landscape<\/span>\u00a0is most effective\u00a0when it&#8217;s both an exterior and\u00a0interior\u00a0experience. \u00a0From the street, an ornamental fence shines with the home architecture. \u00a0From inside, planted screens offer maximum privacy while essentially fading away\u00a0to feature the\u00a0<span class=\"il\">landscape<\/span> within, where life takes place. &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/johnmontgomerylandscapearchitects.com\/our-work\/features\/privacy\/\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">John Montgomery Landscape Architects<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-70057 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/unnamed-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"639\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/unnamed-6.jpg 890w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/unnamed-6-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/unnamed-6-768x633.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/unnamed-6-182x150.jpg 182w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/unnamed-6-765x630.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/unnamed-6-364x300.jpg 364w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Water is an elegant way to block noise from nearby roads and noisy nuisances that can cut into alone time in your yard.
