As our lives are lived increasingly outdoors, homeowners are seeking new ways to make our properties feel private. Instead of fortress-like walls or fences, sustainably minded people are opting for the greener alternative of trees, bushes, and hedges. Meg Ryan's '90s yard is the perfect place to turn for inspiration.
In photographs of the property she shared with ex-husband Dennis Quaid, captured in 2002, we see that the actress used plants for privacy so well that the home could only be captured with an aerial camera. Her front yard features well-manicured hedges and a collection of coniferous and palm trees. Though the layout is simple, it demonstrates the sheer power that lush greenery can have as pseudo-fencing.
