With homes being built on smaller lots, privacy is often hard to come by and is something wel- comed by most home- owners. Robert Frost is often credited with the phrase, "Good fences make good neighbors," in his poem Mending Wall. Wolf- gang Mieder, a proverbs scholar finds it difficult to attribute this ambiguous saying to one person. His research traces the history of different ver- sions of the proverb to several different cultures and languages, includ- ing German, Norwegian, Russian, Japanese, and Hindi, as well as English, dating back to the 17th century. All homeowners hope to make their homes a place of enjoyment and relaxation. With neigh- bors living so close to- gether, finding creative ways to add privacy helps build an oasis in your own back yard. HGTV recommends a variety of ways to achieve privacy in your own back- yard: 1. Plant grasses. By using ornamental grasses, a privacy area can be created and en- joyed year-after-year. Keep in mind your seat- ing height and plant grasses that provide a taller buffer. 2. Use potted plants. Potted plants, including palms or other taller va- rieties, can be placed to screen y o u r s e a t i n g area. Pots can be placed on ris- ers to create a privacy wall. 3. Construct a hanging screen. If you use your porch to relax, consider a hang- ing screen using basic hardware you cand find in town. Lattice and removable hard- ware will allow you to take the screen down in the winter when it is less likely you'll be sitting outside. Other materials will also work, and your local hardware store can help you with plenty of options. 4. If a privacy screen isn't an option, consider drapery panels. If you have an outdoor TV, the panels can also be used to block glaring light. 5. If the view from your yard isn't a pleasant, use vintage signage to ob- scure the unwanted. An- tique signs add character to your outdoor space while also blocking out a less-than-desirable view or any prying eyes. 6. Freshen your fence. Freshen it up with a power wash and use paint and/ or printable templates to create a graphic outdoor focal point. 7. Decorate your fence with charm. Is there any prettier sight than a clas- sic white picket fence cov- ered in climbing roses? When selecting varieties, try pretty-in-pink 'Eden' or the stunning, multicolored 'Joseph's Coat'. 8. Emerald Green Ar- borvitae, also known as Thuja, is a fast-growing, vigorous conifer that will eventually reach 12' to 15' tall. With typical growth rates of 3' to 5' of new growth per year, Thuja is an excellent choice as a living privacy fence or for mixing in with a structural fence. 9. Grow Columns of Color. Compact climbers, like jasmine and clema- tis, are great container plants. All they need to thrive is a pot with good drainage, a trellis or post for support and regular watering and feeding. Line several up around a patio or deck for total pri- vacy or just place a single pot where needed. 10. Or give your deck a single wall. With just a few feet separating some homes, privacy may be a necessary consider- ation for the back deck that serves as both an outdoor dining space and living room. Slatted walls create total privacy and an opportunity for addi- tional lighting. 11. Incorporate deco- rative panels. For privacy with a breeze, consider installing laser cut deco- rative panels. A more high-end approach, this permanent fix not only blocks an unattractive view, but also boosts the charm factor of your home's architecture. 12. Use a sunshade to provide protection from the sun on patios. Turn an over-exposed patio or deck into a shady hang- out with a billowing shade sail that, bonus, will also add privacy from any neighboring two-story homes or apartments. 13. Add a living wall Living walls have been gaining in popularity over the past few years and for a good reason they look fab and do a great job of creating pri- vacy. If you don't have a green thumb, check in with a local nursery or landscaper to do the dirty work for you. How to get more privacy in your back yard www.momsinprayer.org c
