Are Privacy Trees Right For You?

Whether you are reading on your front porch or having a small gathering in your backyard, it is understandable to want some privacy. Unfortunately, many Georgia homes are built close to each other and near busy streets. Do you have to invest in a brick wall or install a fence to get the solitude you desire? Not necessarily. Privacy trees are an excellent solution with numerous benefits towards your landscape and personal space.

There are a variety of trees and shrubs that can create privacy when planted along the border of your property. Privacy trees are naturally discreet and attractive while serving a valued purpose of creating a barrier between yourself and noisy neighbors, blinding streetlights or other threats to a peaceful backyard.

Privacy trees (or hedges) can be installed in your front, back or side yard. They are an excellent solution for homeowners that:

• Have a pool or hot tub
• Have kids that frequently play outside
• Own a dog that is easily distracted by neighbors, cars or other dogs
• Enjoy entertaining or having parties in their backyard
• Value alone time
• Desire privacy but don’t like the sight of wood, metal or brick as a barricade

Beyond privacy, a border of thick foliage trees around your property can offer benefits to your landscape, such as the following:

• Keeping your yard and lawn green throughout the seasons
• Locking down the soil along a fence line
• Making new landscaping look fully developed more quickly
