Living screen for the front yard - beautiful, opaque plants
Privacy is a priority in the front yard. Walls, metal and wooden fences do not always meet the personal taste or blow up the budget. Instead of delivering yourself to prying eyes in a front yard without a fence, we recommend a lively screen of plants. The most beautiful types and varieties are presented here.
Blossoming bulwark against prying eyes - the best privacy shrubs
Is your rural, romantic front garden still waiting for a clear screen? Then you are well advised with a hedge of fast-growing flowering shrubs. The following species and varieties are characterized by rapid growth, easy cut care and lavish blooms:
Evergreen and opaque - plants for year-round privacy
The privacy effect of deciduous flowering shrubs is limited to summer time. If you aim for a year-round defense against curious glances, the following evergreen plants come into focus:
For the small front garden lean plants, such as Blue Rocket Wacholer 'Blue Arrow' (Juniperus scopulorum) recommend, which reaches a width of 80 to 100 cm at a height of 400 to 500 cm. Also popular as an evergreen screen for scarce garden areas is the column cypress, Columnaris Glauca '(Chamaecyparis lawsoniana), 500 cm high and 100 cm wide.
Give an evergreen hedge an extra dose of appeal with imaginative shaped cuts. Very beautiful is a curved line, which is particularly good on boxwood and yew trees to advantage. Guided ropes or templates serve as orientation aid for skilful cutting.
