A backyard
can instantly transport you into a beautiful, green oasis which is what is also
required after a long day at work. One goes into a trance until barking dogs
two doors down or neighbors strolling over to interrupt which brings an
individual back from the trance. All of this highlights the importance of a
privacy border. The lawn at your home can be a good place for your children to
play, your family members to sit together and enjoy the calmness of nature and
a green way of relaxing. It is important that you maintain it in order for it
to look lush and beautiful. You can approach professional lawn care service
providers if you are a busy professional. If you are a resident of
Simpsonville, you can approach Curb Appeal Lawn Care which offers lawn care

hassle on your part.
Today we are
going to be discussing a few privacy landscaping ideas which are as follows:
Plant A Privacy Border- Use evergreen hedges in order to
create a living privacy border and you can also add to the look by planting
different types of shrubs which means if a disease or pest invades one shrub,
your entire border won’t be affected by it.
Space It Out- Plan beforehand how big each plant
of yours will be when they will mature. Keeping that in mind, decide where it
will go and what to plant near it. Moreover, larger, established trees and
shrubs cost more upfront so you can start with smaller plants but will have to
wait for your privacy to grow in.
Block Out Noise With Trees- If it is a noisy yard, plant trees
which is the best way to muffle urban noise by up to 50%, almost as much as a stone
wall. If the noise still sneaks through, add in a fountain which will surely
drown out the noise.
Create A Living Fence- Plant flowering shrubs in close
proximity with one another, so that they graft and begin to grow as a single
plant. Choose self-grafting plants which takes a year of time to be
established.
Few Trees For Privacy and Noise
Reduction:
Eastern red
cedar (a sun-loving evergreen that handles the heat effectively), White oak (a
slow-growing shade tree), Silver or red maple (fast-growing shade trees), Pine
(any variety will provide privacy and reduce noise), Dawn redwood (a
fast-growing, low-maintenance conifer), Leyland or bald cypress (fast-growing,
slender conifers), Douglas fir (a beautiful evergreen that looks good in any
space), Spruce (any spruce is effective in blocking noise), etc.
The Best Shrubs for Privacy And Noise
Reduction:
Juniper (a
fast-growing, drought-tolerant evergreen shrub), Dogwoods (a tough and
easy-to-care for shrub), Viburnum (shrubs that provide color in every season),
Yew (a classic shrub), Eastern or giant arborvitae (a fast-growing,
pyramid-shaped hedge), Holly (a low maintenance shrub), Rose-of-Sharon (it is an
easy to grow hibiscus that’s perfect for borders or as a hedge), Boxwood
(versatile and compact evergreens), Privet (a fast-growing shrub with glossy
leaves), Forsythia (a fast-growing shrub with bright, yellow flowers).
The best
time to plant a privacy border or for implementing any new garden design is in
fall and spring. You should start planning a season or two before you want to
plant, the sooner you start planning your new garden design, the better for
you.
