Fencing is helpful because it can provide security that other shrubs and other penetrable deterrents can’t.



With fencing, it comes in all different shapes, sizes, and materials. If you’re looking more for privacy, then you might want to go for tall fencing that doesn’t have decorative holes covering it.


You could also look at getting gates installed to the front and back of the property as part of the fencing if desired.

 

Use Natural Features to Obscure the View of Neighbors

Natural features are a good way to obscure the view of your neighbors, especially if the fencing you have in place, is not serving enough to keep your property covered.

From tall trees to shrubs and hedges, you’ve got a lot of choices that are worth exploring when it comes to implementing it into your backyard space.

Find natural features that work for your backyard and that aren’t just a means to a problem. It’s important it fits in with the look of your garden.

Blinds or curtains are useful to have when it comes to hiding your home from view. While you might not want to keep them closed all day long, it’s worth considering having both blinds and curtains.

The reason for this is that having your blinds down but open if possible, can still provide a little bit of privacy. You can then close your curtains when you want a bit of temporary privacy at any point in the day.

Having either of these is a great way to add that privacy to your home in a simple and traditional way.
