The best trees for privacy will not only keep those nosey neighbors at bay, but it will also add character and color to the exterior of your home. While your standard fencing can provide a sense of seclusion — tall, fast-growing trees is a charming way to screen a property and welcome natures abundant beauty into a space.
'Trees are great for screening the zones above a property fence and if there is space, they can be allowed to grow wide as well to provide even more privacy beneath a spreading canopy,' says Megumi Aihara (ASLA, PLA), founding partner and principal of landscape and architecture studio SAW.
