Achieving privacy from nosy neighbors or bystanders passing by your home doesn’t have to mean you erect a fortress. Plant life, such as tall shrubs and trees, can offer sanctuary while also improving the visual appeal of your home. Privacy plantings are a quick, imaginative and beautiful way to improve your landscape and your quality of life.
Sheared privet hedges are the most common version of this great landscape feature. They can be cut to almost any height, within reason, and offer a regal and clean look to your outside space. But they aren’t the only type of privacy plantings

One popular technique we use at DesertScapes Lawn Care is layered privacy plantings, where a mix of different plant life is used to create a robust visual effect that fills sight lines beautifully. The key to properly layering your foliage is by selecting the right types of plants. Deciduous shade trees are very popular as the “foundation” since they can grow quite tall. The remaining spaces are filled with staggered perennials, annuals and shrubs to offer a visually appealing blend that also shields your home from neighbors and onlookers.
Privacy plantings don’t have to just block the view from neighbors – they can be used to create sanctuaries within your own space. Container plants on your deck can also provide an aesthetically pleasing option for those that have outdoor living spaces. Our talented team can custom build the perfect planters that will complement the style of your current aesthetic, and create an intimate sense of being tucked away.
