If you are tired of the neighbors looking in on you while you are in your home, why not build a shrub wall? Putting up a block wall is always an option, but why not plant some tall growing shrubs instead? Adding a variety of different shrubs to the perimeter of your yard will give you all the privacy you need. And it will also provide you with beautiful scenery rather than just a bunch of blocks or bricks. If you like the idea and you want some shrub suggestions, read through these steps. It won't take long before all the eyes aren't on you anymore.
Instructions
Things You'll Need
Shovel
Hoe
Big grasses
Redtwig dogwood
Witch hazel
Alaska blue willow
Japanese maple
New Zealand flax
Cotinus obovata
Heavenly bamboo
Rose glow
Pink dawn
Beautyberry
1 Tear up the lawn around the perimeter of the yard. Planting a variety of tall growing shrubs means making the necessary space available.
2 Plant a variety of tall growing grasses. Miscanthus sinensis is an excellent choice to grow around the border of your yard.
3 Choose shrubs that not only look great in the summer, but also have some visible beauty in the winter. Redtwig dogwood is covered in green leaves lined in silver during the summer, and enhanced red twigs in winter.
4 Continue planting year round shrubs, one after another, around the outside of the yard, until the edges are completely covered. Witch hazel provides gorgeous yellow flowers in February and plenty of green foliage in summer.
5 Plant shrubs full of color and texture such as Alaska blue willow, Japanese maples, New Zealand flax and Cotinus obovata. These shrubs will entangle themselves into a beautiful wall of privacy guarding your home from viewers passing by.
6 Finish off your foliage wall by adding in some garden accents. Heavenly bamboo, rose glow, pink dawn and beautyberry provides your privacy screen with lacy red, blood red and violet fruits as well as fragrant flowers.
