Many homeowners can enjoy the beautiful landscape of their backyards perfectly fine, but some need a bit more outdoor privacy if they want to be able to relax outside. If you’re one of these folk, here are a few tips you can use to enhance your backyard’s outdoor privacy.
Privacy Fences.
The most obvious way to make a backyard more private is to put a fence up. Not only do they keep neighbors and other critters physically out of the yard, but fences also can keep them from seeing into. What’s more, they also make yards psychologically feel more private by providing a sense of enclosure and safety. Just be sure to choose the right material. Chain link fences can certainly keep other out, but wont’ afford much outdoor privacy. Wooden fences and vinyl privacy fences on the other hand will.
Hedges.
Similar to privacy fences, hedges can also keep others out of a backyard, and provide a sense of enclosure, too. Hedges are also a bit more aesthetically pleasing since they’re more natural. Of course, this also means that they take longer to grow and that they require more maintenance.
Fountains.
Though these two aforementioned assets might keep neighbors and others out, it still doesn’t help if you can hear their music or loud conversations. Though you can’t see your neighbors, their noise may still be intrusive, and make them feel as though they were right there, too, encroaching on your outdoor privacy. Luckily, you can have a fountain installed in your backyard, which will not only make your yard look all the more elegant and sophisticated, but will also provide white noise to block out your neighbors and enhance your outdoor privacy.
If your neighbors bug you while you’re trying to enjoy your backyard, why not put up a fence or a hedge, and get a fountain installed? Such landscaping choices will transform your backyard into an outdoor escape.
