Privacy is an important thing for most of us.
Concrete and brick walls are not the only ways to bring more privacy to your home or garden. Natural living fences are a popular trend that is fast catching on everywhere.
The right plants can guarantee better privacy, and also creates a physical barrier hard or impossible to walk through. Unlike brick or concrete, privacy walls can give you something to look at, too.
Here's your guide on how to grow a privacy wall:-
What is a Living Fence?
A living fence creates a physical barrier, grown from dense plants, trees or shrubs. Like any traditional wall, it blocks off the property from view and intrusion – but more than regular walls, living fences benefit the environment.
Good Plants for Privacy Walls
The most important thing to think about before growing your privacy wall is the type of plants you intend to use for it. Ideal growers include ivy plants, though any dense, mid-high shrub or tree can do the job of a living fence.
Upkeep and Maintenance
The second most important thing to think about when growing your privacy wall is its upkeep and maintenance. All plants grow, but it’s up to the gardener to control how – and experienced gardeners learn to train the growth to go in the best direction.
Should I Call an Expert?
If you would like to grow your own natural living fence, you can – and it’s not a difficult task to take on. It’s still recommended to call at least one gardening expert to assess your property and what plants will compliment the space best.
