Looking for advice to create privacy in my backyard... plants? vines? ideas?
I have a nice large backyard which is in a wonderful location- except there is one neighbor, their house is right next to my fence. It is an eyesore of a building for one, and there is a second story window that overlooks my entire yard. Last spring & summer I invested a lot in landscaping my yard, put in sod, a pond, and created a nice escape. The issue that I have is the teenager that lives next door is extremely nosy, like to sit in the sit on the window and just stare, listen to conversations, etc. I got so frustrated that I put up some lattice and netting to grow vines for privacy, but they have yet to fill in. I also bought a large market umbrella but it is not tall enough to block that window. Any advice? It is so frustrating!
<>A small to medium sized tree that can be limbed up to create an overhead plane above your sitting area is one solution. Another is a pergola covered with vines or roses. Or you could plant one or two strategically placed tall, narrow, columnar trees to block the offending windows and decks. Here are some suggested trees:
Apollo Sugar Maple
Arnold Tulip Poplar
Frans Fontaine European Hornbeam
Princeton Sentry Ginkgo Biloba
Fastigiata White Pine
Escape to Landscape Bump
