Getting ready for warmer weather and patio season has us thinking about how to make the most of our deck! This article from Better Homes and Gardens shows us 13 ways to add privacy into our backyard.
Heres our top 3 tips from the article:
Embrace Vines
Vines are the ultimate plant for providing privacy. Here, a hearty vine forms a lush roof over this tiny deck. It also provides an extra privacy "wall" as it scrambles up the support posts and pergola.
Create the Lush Look
Gardeners in warm-winter climates know how tropical plants can create almost instant privacy. Even gardeners in the North can enjoy these fast-growing, big-leaf plants: Grow them as houseplants and move them in and out each season, or treat them as exotic annuals.
Add the Sound of Water
Background noise from a busy street can be just as annoying as seeing your neighbor's weedy back yard. Solve this kind of problem by adding a fountain or other water feature to your deck. Even a gentle trickle of water can make a big difference in how much you enjoy your time outdoors!
