Privacy in gardens can be created using
trees to hide or screen out an undesirable
view. Trees grown for this purpose often
have a clear stem up to fence panel height
around 1.8-2m with a full bushy canopy
above, forming a good screen above the
fence line. This type of screening is
particularly useful if the garden is
overlooked by neighbouring properties
or to retain lower-level exposure to an
attractive wall or area.
Semi-mature trees can be planted to
achieve effective screening from the offset
with evergreens being preferred for this
purpose as they screen throughout the year.
However, a planting scheme that includes
deciduous trees can provide rich contrast
and seasonal interest.
