What Are Privacy Shrubs?
Planting privacy shrubs can be a good way to keep neighbors and passers-by from seeing into the yard. It may also serve to prevent homeowners from having to glimpse unattractive views outside the yard. A privacy shrub is usually a large bush or tree that is either quite tall, thick, or both. Plants are often considered a more natural barrier than fences, allowing residents to have nature-friendly property. They also provide a certain level of noise insulation as well. Many people who have pools in their backyard, or otherwise spend a lot of time in that area, choose to grow privacy shrubs. This is often good for blocking the view from neighbors next to or behind the house. Additionally, homes in locations that are prone to high winds, especially when they are surrounded by dirt, could use privacy shrubs to block excess dirt and dust from the yard.
