This is the One Landscaping Trick Gardeners Want you to Know for Extra Privacy in Your Backyard

A garden with a brick path, box hedges, and four pleached trees.

You might find that enhancing the privacy of your home can be difficult without a complete reconstruction, but landscaping can go a long way in adding an extra veil to your property's perimeter. Trees might just be the cost-efficient gardening solution you need to screen your backyard from prying eyes, and there's a special way of pruning them that gardeners often rely on to add more height to your borders.

They're called pleached trees, and landscape architects love using them as a decorative way to add an extra layer of privacy to outdoor spaces. Think of them as the new privacy plant that will convert your backyard into a lush private sanctuary, and the best part about this green trend is it offers a touch of visual opulence to backyards that perfectly compliments the style of a modern garden. We spoke to the experts to find out their thoughts on pleached trees for privacy purposes and just how well this gardening trick truly works.
