I love having a huge tree right in front of my living room window. It gives me some shade, keeps my home cooler, and gives me a little bit more privacy in my home without having to constantly keep all the blinds closed. Many people choose to add a privacy fence, but that can be fairly expensive (and honestly sometimes an eyesore). If you want to shield your yard and home from any prying eyes, check out these awesome tips by Justin W. Hancock at Better Homes and Gardens on how to naturally add some privacy:
-Give your favorite plants better view-blocking power by growing them in raised beds or berms.
-Transform a corner of your yard into a secluded getaway by placing trees around it to form a pocket.
-Add a lattice to your yard, grow roses or vines on it
-Use a hedge as a fence
-Mix it up- add a lattice in some spots, trees in another, hedges on one side, and a fence in another.
