Creating a Private Backyard Oasis On Your Property
So, how do we create the privacy you’ve always dreamed about in your backyard? How do we keep prying neighbor eyes out of sight? That’s simple.
Well, it can be complex. It really depends how you want to do things. This is your oasis, after all.
But enough with my fluff, let’s dive in and look at a few ways to add privacy to your backyard:
Tall Tree Install
This one is common sense. The easiest way to add privacy is to install mature trees around your backyard.
These trees can block the vision of your neighbors and keep things a little more private around your backyard.
For a first move, this is one of the easiest ways to increase the privacy of your backyard. At Huston Contracting, we can help you find and install the tallest trees money can buy. And we certainly recommend this in some situations.
However, this isn’t an end-all, be-all solution. Other times, you may be better off working with other landscaping solutions to add privacy.
High Fences
A high fence is a key to privacy in the backyard. Without a fence, your backyard may feel open and inviting to any and all of your neighbors. Even before installing trees, make sure your fencing is up to par.
By installing the highest fence your homeowner’s association will allow, you’ll find privacy all around you. The only issue will be spying neighbor eyes from above.
Covered Porches
To further your privacy, covered porches can add barriers from the neighbors. These cover and/or screened-in porches will ensures eyes from above cannot see what’s going on in your backyard.
This is ideal while enjoying a cold one as the stars come out, but not enjoyable if you’re looking to get some sun while enjoying the backyard.
Outdoor Kitchens
Many don’t know this, but you can build your outdoor kitchen with privacy in mind. As the kitchen is usually tall, the grilling areas and more can all create natural barriers to nosy neighbors.
Many of our Olathe landscaping clients have asked us to build extravagant and tall outdoor kitchens with the idea of adding privacy to the outdoor spaces. And of course, we happily obliged.
