There could be multiple reasons why you want to screen your yard by adding some of the best shrubs for privacy. Planting is one of the easiest solutions to help fix the problems of an overlooked patio, pool or entertaining area, or to help blur and disguise neighboring windows that look right down into your yard.
If your garden is overlooked, walls and fences offer the ideal surface for extending planting upwards, increasing the height of a fence or wall with greenery. It becomes easier to blur the boundaries by choosing shrubs that will bring structure, seasonality, shade and, of course, privacy. Cladding boundaries with a generous planting of shrubs makes the garden as lush as possible and offers a lovely distraction from the fact of being overlooked.
