Versatile privacy protection ideas for the garden
Whether in the spacious farmer's garden or in the space-restricted row house garden: Blinds made of a variety of materials can now represent a practical and also aesthetic alternative to monotony and the not to be underestimated care expenses of evergreen sight hedges.
Provide privacy with shrubs or vines
A hedge made of beech, privet or cherry laurel may seem more natural to some garden owners than a stone wall, but such hedges do not seem particularly creative and imaginative. So why should not the privacy hedge make its active contribution to a blooming, fragrant or even sweet fruit garden? Flowering shrubs can be arranged in a row so that they provide for changing focussing and color spectrums in the garden almost all year round with their different flowering times. From a screen hedge of raspberries, blackberries, spiny or currants children and adults can nibble. Even among the climbing plants, there are not only decorative flower wonders. Grapes and kiwis can be harvested at suitable locations directly from the covered screen.
To decorate a wooden fence
A simple board wall can quickly be barren and unarmouring as a screen if it is not just a particularly thought-through design idea in a modern garden. There are certainly opportunities to combine wood as a material for a privacy screen with high aesthetic requirements:
In order to create the illusion of another room in a relatively small garden, mirrors can be mounted on the inside of a wooden wall, which are provided with a window-effect frame in connection with old-fashioned shutters. A balcony box with geraniums under the pseudo-window enhances the impression of a real window.
Privacy walls with that certain something
Due to the uncomplicated construction, today's stone walls in the garden are dominated by variants of so-called gabions. These are stone baskets that are stacked on top of one another by a crane or filled with stones by hand on the spot. These can be covered with climbing plants or braided with artificial flower garlands. Stone walls made of natural stones or the demolition material of old houses look particularly decorative if they are deliberately bricked up like the remnants of a ruined castle. However, you should pay special attention to the local conditions when building stone walls and better consult a specialist.
Tips
A privacy screen made of wooden walls or stones not only provides privacy in the garden, but can also keep cool gusts of wind from the terrace or the swimming pool. In addition, on the south side of the screen, the microclimate at the site in question is changed so that this can have a positive effect on heat-loving plants such as palm trees, nectarine trees or citrus-grown citrus plants.
