ASK ABOUT OUR REPOS Fencing and well-placed plantings can improve privacy for homeowners who desire it. L iving in close proximity to one's neigh- bors has its benefi ts. But many home- owners would no doubt admit that pri- vacy at home is a good thing. Whether homeowners are enjoying their yard in spring or summer or simply want their in-home activities to be less obvious to neighbors, their privacy is a year-round concern. If privacy is a concern, homeowners can take certain steps to ensure their homes stay or become the sanctuar- ies they were designed to be. Window treatments and frosting Windows allow natural light to enter a home, but windows also enable neighbors and others to see into a home. If thieves are the ones looking inside, wide open windows present a security is- sue. Window treatments are an effective way to add privacy to a home. Closing curtains or blinds limits others' ability to see inside the house. Switch to more opaque window treatments when using interior lighting more often, as gossamer draperies may still make it possible for outsiders to understand what's going on inside the home if people and items are backlit. For those who do not want to compromise natu- ral light, frosted windows can satisfy a desire for privacy. Windows can be purchased with frost- ing in place, and home improvement retailers sell various products that can create a frosted look. Fencing and perimeter plantings Privet hedge, arborvitae or Italian cypress are fast-growing evergreens that provide privacy around a home for homeowners who do not want to install traditional fencing. These trees also pro- vide a natural habitat for various yard animals. Layering various plants of different heights and textures also can create a more natural and less imposing look. Fencing remains a viable option to create priva- cy and stop noise pollution. Privacy fences come in various materials, colors and sizes, enabling homeowners to choose styles that fi t their land- scapes. Pergolas and enclosed patios Homeowners who like to entertain outdoors may want to make their outdoor living spac- es more private. Pergolas allow light to fi lter through but obstruct direct view of patio activ- ity, especially when combined with some gauzy draperies hanging on the sides. An enclosed pa- tio or three-season room can be a worthwhile addition for homeowners who like to enjoy the great outdoors without being in the elements or on display for neighbors. Structures vary from screened-in porches to greenhouses to removable gazebos. Potted plants or trailing vines can soften the structural edges and help the privacy devices blend in with the natural surroundings. Personal tactics Homeowners who do not want their neighbors or others knowing what they're up to in their free time can limit what they share through photos and descriptions on social media. Doing so also cuts down on neighbors' curiosity. Improve privacy and security at home Warm weather means more opportunities to spend time outdoors while at home. Whether your favorite form of outdoor recreation includes sitting on the patio reading or digging in the garden, there's a good chance that you will be sharing the space with local wildlife. Optimizing opportu- nities to view and interact with backyard wildlife can make the great outdoors even more en- joyable. The Cornell Lab of Ornithol- ogy indicates that there are around 2,059 bird species on the continent of North Amer- ica. Red-winged blackbirds, yellow-rumped warblers, American robins, and chipping sparrows are among the most commonly seen birds in North America. Making a backyard hospi- table to birds can increase the chances for sightings and hear- ing their sweet songs. Install- ing a bird bath can be a step in the right direction. Bird baths can make yards more attractive to birds. Birds require a supply of fresh, clean water for drinking and bathing. By setting up a bath, homeowners can attract not only seed-loving birds, but those that don't eat seeds and wouldn't normally congregate around feeders, indicates All About Birds. Experts surmise that birds may bathe to main- tain their feathers. Not all bird baths are con- structed the in the same fashion. Many bird baths sold in stores are better suited for decoration than for serving as functional baths. There are four general types of bird bath: standing pedestal, hanging bath, deck- mounted, and ground-level. In general, the lower a bird bath is to the ground, the more likely birds are to use it. Most natural sources of water birds use are on or near the ground. There- fore, ground-level bird baths may be the best investments. It is important to keep the water in a bird bath shallow (around two inches of water or less). This enables birds to splash around safely and wade in. Birds do not want to slide around, so a material that is coated and slippery, like glazed ceramic or glass, may not be too popular. Rough stone or a bird bath modifi ed with pea gravel or rocks can give birds steady footing. Place the bird bath in the shade if possible to ensure the water is cool and fresh. Locate it by a tree so the birds can hop up to a branch and preen af- terwards. All About Birds also says that a bird bath is more at- tractive if it has a dripping or moving water feature, as this is often irresistible to birds. Another way to ensure the bath will be used is to keep it clean and maintained. Change the water every day or two. Rinse off the bath to remove droppings, bugs and other de- bris. Once birds learn there is a comfortable bath nearby, they may be more apt to visit a yard and may even become frequent guests. A guide to buying and setting up a bird bath
