This is how we made our neighbours disappear… 🌿
Our garden felt so overlooked, especially when sitting out, but I really didn’t want to add a taller fence.
Instead, we built a planter and filled it with tall laurels, Salix Flamingos and hydrangeas to create some natural screening and make the whole border feel more like a feature.
These photos are May to August and I honestly can’t believe how much they’ve changed already.
The trees are still so young, so now it’s just a case of letting them grow. I think this is going to look SO good once everything fills out. 🤍
Would you choose trees for privacy or a taller fence?
