How to make an overlooked garden feel more private

Before we dazzle you with our carousel content, check out our 6 key considerations for you to get started. Consider hiring a gardener or landscaper for a seamless installation.

Hedges – Artificial or living, dense hedges like Thuja Occidentalis Brabant are a quick and easy way to ensure your privacy.
Trees – Not only are they great for air quality and nature, but they're also tall! Perfect for keeping you sheltered.
Screen walls – Consider bamboo for a sustainable alternative or opt for a decorative metal design such as these Alhambra beauties.
Fences – Sometimes a traditional solution is the best solution. Just be sure to bury it deep enough to avoid storm damage.
Garden walls – For those looking for safe and secure privacy, consider a garden wall instead.
Combinations – Incorporate some artistic flair by combining one or two of these privacy options. Screens and hedges or walls and trees are popular combinations.
