Blooming Privacy Screen
Good fences make good neighbors. One of Robert Frost’s more famous quotes from his poem Mending Wall. With our ever-growing population here in Southwest Florida, we can kind of see his point. Our housing is now pushed closer together than ever before, and if you have moved into a new subdivision, you don’t even have any vegetation to provide natural privacy.
Being friendly with your neighbors is one thing, but you may also want some privacy at times. A fence may seem like an easy fix, but tall fences may violate local zoning requirements or HOA rules. Also, a fence is pretty stark to look at on it’s own. At Peer Landscaping, we believe plants can provide a softer, more natural, and more attractive border between houses, that’s why we recommend using trees, shrubs and plants to create privacy instead. Using greenery to create privacy is not only a friendly way to keep out prying eyes, it’s also environmentally conscious, providing more green space, more oxygen, and even acts as a sanctuary for birds, animals and other pollinators.
There are many more shrubs that make great privacy hedges, give us a call to have us come out and plant the right hedge for the privacy you are looking to create! Check in with us next month when we will talk about using the right trees, flowering plants and even tall grasses as privacy barriers. We are so lucky to be landscapers here in Southwest Florida, where our choices of plants to use are so varied and beautiful.
