Hey,
I'm a bit stuck at the moment. I'm looking for an elegant solution to shield the south-facing terrace from the adjoining street. On one hand, as a windbreak, and on the other, as a privacy screen from passersby.
Since the distance between the south side of the terrace and the property boundary to the south ranges from 4.5m (small terrace) to 6m (large terrace), I find it hard to imagine having "two things" there. First, a privacy screen about 1.8m (6 feet) high directly at the south side of the terrace, and then something extending around the corner or along the property line, like a fence or a hedge. The space in between would feel like a kind of enclosed, narrow area or corridor. If the space were larger or wider, I think these two elements wouldn’t interfere with each other as much.
The neighbor to the west has a 1.8m to 2m (6 to 6.5 feet) high fence with privacy panels.
Maybe planting tall hedges up to the “bend/offset” of the curb on the south side could work...
I’m really a bit unsure here.
Thanks for any feedback!

For walkers who are not interested in what is happening, a loose planting is sufficient. We thought so too. Normally, you can only see into our garden from a distance of 200+ meters (650+ feet). But...
Last Sunday, we were sitting in the garden when three people, staring at their phones, came out of the woods behind the house, walked between the chicken coop, the house, and the carport, and then went down our driveway to the street. I spoke to them saying, "welcome to our property," and one of the phone users replied, "it didn’t go any further back there." Sometimes, not even hundreds of trees and a secluded location are enough...
You need a gate for that, and even then it doesn’t really help.
Our driveway is regularly blocked by parked cars. I just need to quickly...
There is plenty of parking available, but you do have to walk 2 or 3 steps extra.
This concerns pedestrians walking along the sidewalk.
@Andre77 what about dog waste?

Good
I know someone who has this problem. How could he build on the meadow where the dogs do their businessSame here. Until the fence all around was finished. But my hedges still suffer from the dogs urinating on them. Oh well, the dogs aren’t to blame, of course.During the May Day celebrations, teenagers already fell over the fence drunk. Or they moved the equipment and patio furniture around.
Here’s how it looks with bushes.
