Landscaping doesn’t have to be done primarily for decorative reasons. Landscaping can serve many practical purposes as well. With all of the growth our nation is experiencing, many homeowners are finding themselves in busier and more crowded conditions. Builders are developing neighborhoods where the homes seem to be within arm’s reach of each other and landscaping for privacy has become a common practice.

Using trees for privacy from neighbors and to shelter your home from the lights and noises of heavy street traffic are some of the applications used in landscaping for privacy. Trees for privacy can also be used to block an unwanted or unattractive view. The Fast Growing Trees Nursery provides a wide selection of fast growing, privacy trees based on your own growing zone.

Another method used best for privacy is planting hedges. A privacy hedge can be planted in front of bedroom windows, between neighboring houses and even around a pool area. Quite a few traditional, stand-alone plants can be planted in a row and allowed to grow into a privacy hedge. Poinsettia plants are just one example. They can grow rather large and thick and can be kept trimmed. And they make a spectacular display when the leaves change color in the fall.

Many people enjoy sitting on a front porch at the end of a hard day and enjoying the cool evening breezes. But who wants to be the object of attention from every passing motorist and pedestrian that walks by? In this case the best plant for privacy may be a climbing vine like ivy or morning glory.

Sometimes, using plants and trees for privacy can be less expensive and more attractive than high fences and walls. The Arbor Day Foundation is a great landscaping resource where you can save money as well as learn all about fast growing, privacy landscaping plants for your specific growing zone.

Consider integrating these natural, fast growing, privacy trees and shrubs, or climbing vines into your overall landscaping plan and enjoy your little patch of heaven uninterrupted.
