Feel like you live in a glass house?
There is a cure for that!
Love your home but feel like your neighbours are so close they practically live with you?
When you find yourself feeling like you live in a fishbowl and craving privacy, turn to Mother Nature. She provides a number of landscaping techniques that will help close your home off to prying eyes and give you that feeling of solitude you crave.
Consider using native plants. They are generally more tolerant of your region’s soil conditions and microclimates and are less picky in their maintenance requirements.
Choose fast-growing plants to get your privacy sooner.
Whichever you decide on, however, with strategic placement you’ll be able to block those prying eyes.
