It’s always good to be able to spend time outside in your garden. However, if your back yard is overlooked, your neighbors are never far from your mind. Especially if you have little ones living with you. But there are some ways you can have some privacy in your yard. Here are some small changes to make your garden a private haven.
Update your fencing
One of the easiest ways to make your garden a private haven for your family is by updating the fencing. It’s easy for fencing to deteriorate over time and need replacing; especially after bad weather. Therefore, getting some new fencing is an excellent way to have a little more privacy in your garden. However, as we talked about before, there are lots of different designs and colors that you can choose from when it comes to fencing. Therefore, it’s best to look at the different options available which will look great in your garden. If you do choose a plain wood, you could always paint it so it looks fabulous in your yard. Just remember to choose a solid fence which will last a few years, even in the worst weather. And go for a significant height which will stop those nosy neighbors looking in your garden!
Add some outdoor blinds
You might not have heard of outdoor blinds before, but they are an excellent way to create privacy in your garden. They are ideal for going around your outdoor entertaining area so that you can dine with guests with some privacy. There are so many types available including backyard pvc cafe blinds. As well as giving you privacy, they are also ideal for hot sun and bad weather, so that your family are protected.
Grow some hedges
If your fence is not giving your family enough privacy in your gorgeous garden, you might want to look at growing some hedges. They are a subtle way to create a secluded hideaway for your family. As this feature reveals, combine a variety of different shrubs to give it a natural look. Don’t be afraid to try planting different sizes and colors so that it creates a beautiful look. The hedges will give you a beautiful landscape while keeping some privacy for your family.
Grow some vertical plants
Vertical plants are an excellent way to cover an area that may be in view of your neighbor. You can easily find tower planters which will allow you to grow herbs all year round. Or you might even want to grow your plants against walls and fences so that you can cover any holes which may have formed over time!
Add a pergola or a canopy
You can also add a pergola to your garden to give the dining area some essential privacy. It’s a great way to build your own outdoor living room where you can relax with some peace and quiet. And as this article explains, you can even add some curtains and lights to make it into a lovely private area for summer evenings. A cheaper version would be a canopy which you can put away when you are not using it. But it will give your party some privacy from your neighbors!
You could change the layout of your garden so that it’s more private. For example, you might want to move the dining table and chairs so it’s nearer the back door and out of view of your neighbors.
