When you have an isolated house without a house around it, it is because without a doubt you like privacy and being able to live in your privacy without anyone bothering you. Likewise, if you live in a semi-detached house, even if you have neighbors on the sides, you can also find your privacy and intimacy very easily. But the key above all to find intimacy it is in the garden.
A garden where details are not taken care of in order to maintain privacy would be a garden in which all the neighbors or people who pass by at that moment could see your house, your things and worst of all… they would see you in your intimacy invading your privacy. Personally, I have always thought that one’s house is his refuge and as such prying eyes are out of place, for that reason today I want to talk to you about some trees, hedges and plants with which you can maintain privacy in your garden without you feeling invaded by anyone. Take note!
the trees
The trees are without a doubt the best ally for the privacy of your home, They are also a great investment that can bring you fruits for your own consumption. A tree will save you money thanks to its shade, it will allow you to reduce your heating bill, it will add beauty to your garden, it will reduce air pollution, making it cleaner, and it will also increase the value of your property because trees are always a good. What more could you want?
But what would be the right trees for your home? In addition to giving privacy, your trees will have to have other functions such as: give shade, protect you from the wind, beautify the space, encourage animals to live in your garden (such as birds or squirrels), have fruits for your consumption but above all protect your privacy.
There are many types of trees that can be used to give you privacy, such as lemon trees, orange trees, cypresses, braquiquito… but you will have to assess the characteristics of your land to assess what type of tree would be best for your garden.
the hedges
I also consider hedges a perfect element that nature gives us so that we can protect our privacy and that our privacy is not affected. Fast-growing hedges are the most advisable because it will take less time to have your fence fenced with hedges.
Hedges, in addition to providing your long-awaited intimacy, will also provide extraordinary beauty in your garden since some of them can give you beautiful flowers that will make your home a pleasant and beautiful place. But you will have to take into account the characteristics of the hedge you choose since should grow to a considerable height in order to provide you with the privacy you desire.
For example the Arizonans are a classic in gardens with hedges and although it gets damaged over time, people use it very often, despite the fact that there are more alternatives.
The plants
Plants will also help eliminate the feeling of being seen by others while using your garden. It doesn’t matter if they are curious neighbors or prying eyes, what matters is that you can use plants on your fence to protect your privacy. There are plants that will help you create a protective barrier against glances indiscreet, but I advise you to use those plants that have a fast growth so that you do not have to suffer much with the lack of privacy.
An example to put plants that protect your privacy is the bamboo. Bamboo is a very successful option in addition to aesthetics because it has a great capacity for growth and expansion. There are two types of bamboo, those that grow fast or those that are grouped in clumps. In addition, bamboo is very resistant and grows very well in clay soils. As they grow so quickly it is advisable to prune them often.
Another of the plants that are also excellent for creating intimacy in your garden are the climbing ivy or wildflowers. Both options are very suitable to combine with wooden fences as they can protect your privacy and also create a colorful and very nice look to the fence of your garden.
