Your garden, regardless of its size or shape, should serve as an undisturbed retreat where you can unwind, spend quality family time and find peace after a busy day. However, the close proximity of modern suburban homes and neighbours just a few meters away often deprives us of the privacy needed to fully enjoy our outdoor spaces. Fortunately you can take a few simple steps to greatly improve your gardens privacy.
Add a Privacy Screen or Fence
Fences in many gardens fall short of providing sufficient privacy, leaving you exposed. Consider strategically placing a fence around the frequently used areas or installing outdoor privacy screens to address this.
These screens, being mobile, provide a flexible solution to cater to different areas of the garden. Additionally, roof-to-fence blinds or crank and clip blinds can improve privacy and control the ingress of light. With a variety of quality fabrics and designs available, you can choose a style that complements your garden aesthetic and provides the privacy you require.
Add a Trellis
Trellises may not immediately block the neighbour’s view, but they can become aesthetically pleasing additions to your home over time. By incorporating climbing plants like ivy, grapevines, and climbing roses and letting them grow and intertwine with the trellises, they gradually enhance privacy and add a natural touch to your outdoor area.
Make Use Of Plants
Plants create a natural privacy barrier around your garden, offering a sense of seclusion and privacy. Incorporate large or dense trees strategically to provide privacy and shade, which is ideal for creating sheltered seating areas. Additionally, explore the use of hanging pots and groupings of large shrubs in pots placed closely together to improve privacy further while contributing to a cooler environment during the hot summer months. By integrating plant life into your outdoor space, you establish privacy and help to create a comfortable and refreshing atmosphere, making your garden a welcoming year round retreat.
Cover it permanently
One excellent method to achieve privacy is by using the existing structures of your house to form an enclosed outdoor area. For optimal privacy, consider positioning your outdoor patio or room adjacent to your home, allowing you to extend the roof with a retractable folding arm awning into your backyard. To enhance protection and comfort, the addition of aluminium shutters or outdoor blinds can transform your outdoor space into a versatile outdoor room. With the ability to open or close these features as needed, you gain control over your environment, whether to shield from the neighbours view or keep the elements out.
