Why Privacy Screens are a Must-Have for Your Yard

If you’ve spent the winter staring at an unsightly neighbor’s property, or worse, that stubborn red golf cart parked in the same spot for months, you know the value of a good privacy screen. Privacy screens, especially evergreen plantings, provide year-round beauty and seclusion, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space without the distractions of what’s going on next door.

At Turner Design Group, we specialize in creating personalized privacy solutions that enhance your property’s aesthetic while also providing practical benefits. So why wait for the warmer months to begin your privacy project? March is the perfect time to get started.

Choosing the Right Evergreen for Your Privacy Screen

When it comes to choosing the right plants for your privacy screen, there are several factors to consider. We’re here to guide you through the process to ensure that you get the best results.

1. Understanding Your Property’s Needs
   Every property is different, and the best privacy screen for your yard depends on a variety of factors such as sunlight, soil type, and the surrounding environment. Is your property shaded or exposed to full sun? Do you have any specific challenges like power lines or septic fields that need to be considered when selecting plants? We take all of these factors into account to recommend the right evergreen plantings for your yard.
2. Consider the Wildlife in Your Area
   Before selecting plants, it’s essential to understand the wildlife that frequents your area. For example, Arborvitae emeralds are a popular choice for privacy screens, but they can fall victim to deer if your property has a large deer population. Our team will help you choose deer-resistant plants and structure your privacy screen to make sure it thrives year-round.
3. Planting for Longevity and Aesthetic Appeal
   A privacy screen should not only serve as a visual barrier but also complement the rest of your landscape. We carefully choose evergreen plants that will grow in the right habit, meaning they won’t overwhelm the space as they mature. Whether you prefer an all-evergreen screen or a mix of evergreens and flowering plants for added color, we’ll design a screen that fits your style and needs.
4. Proper Maintenance for a Long-Lasting Screen
   A well-planned privacy screen will grow with your property and last for many years, but it’s important to maintain it properly. Our team can guide you on trimming, pruning, and caring for your privacy plants to ensure that they continue to flourish and provide the privacy you desire.

The Benefits of Privacy Screens for Both Properties

While privacy screens benefit your property, they also offer advantages for your neighbors. A well-maintained privacy screen creates a beautiful boundary that both you and your neighbors can enjoy. It’s a win-win situation that enhances the overall value of the property and improves the neighborhood.
