Trees & Shrubs Can Provide Privacy
by Tiffany Gonzales
If you own your home, you might have a dream of privacy from neighbors and the general public. The good news? You can count on an arborist or landscaper to help you find a way to boost your privacy with greenery.
So, what kinds of privacy trees and shrubs are the best choice for your home? These are just a few of your options.
Evergreen Trees
If you really want good privacy landscaping, evergreens are great. They are full throughout the year, which means you will have coverage through every season. The leaves provide great cover for tall windows, balconies, and your yard.
You may connect with an arborist to discuss which types of evergreen trees are the best option for your yard. Some trees could be invasive or unhealthy for your area.
Trees and Shrubs in Abundance
In some cases, you need only to have a lot of different plants to make a difference. For instance, you might want to keep people away from your windows in the front yard. Lots of plants of varying sizes can create a natural barrier.
Trees & Plants That Grow Quickly
If you are starting with baby plants, you want to plant something that will grow quickly. Fortunately, several types of shrubs and trees can do that. For instance, you might consider a shrub with beautiful flowers like the forsythia, or something taller like a holly that has evergreen leaves throughout the year. The wax myrtle grows quickly and can become quite tall.
Trees can grow quickly too, offering the privacy you desire. White pine is tall and grows quickly. Silver maple is not only large but also offers a lot of shade for your yard. If you want a tree with a lot of shade but less maintenance, you might consider some type of redwood.
What Should You Do Next?
Do you have questions about privacy trees? Do you want to make sure that your area can sustain the trees and shrubs you are thinking of? Want to make sure your new privacy shield won't cause any sort of trouble for your yard or the surrounding area?
Your next step is to call an arborist to check out your land. Not only can they tell you which existing trees are healthy, but they can also tell you what you need to know about planting new trees and bringing in new plants for privacy.
Another step is looking for a company that provides arborist supplies near you for things you can do on your own.

About Me
I have always been someone who absolutely adores being outside, which is probably one of the reasons I decided to buy a home with a large lot. However, as soon as I moved in, I realized that yard work was a lot more challenging than I had anticipated, which is why I called in a team of professional landscapers. They were amazing to work with and got right to it, and within a few days, the yard was looking amazing. I wanted to create a blog all about creating beautiful outdoors spaces so that other people can help to beautify the world.
