Hello,
we are currently planning our outdoor area.
We are still unsure about the best way to create privacy screening towards the neighbor’s house. We have quite a curious neighbor who always stands on their terrace whenever we are outside.
Of course, the adjacent playground should remain accessible for our child.
We find it a bit difficult to decide the best solution. At first, we thought about bamboo plants. They grow quickly and tall. But do they grow dense enough to provide privacy screening?
Or should we go for a wooden fence?
It’s tricky.
Maybe you have suggestions and ideas for us, thank you very much.
Best regards

chewbacca12311 Aug 2020 13:31I think I should mention that there is a rental property next door. It’s unlikely that anyone there will install a privacy screen on their own. Although the tenants are permanent and older, the investment responsibility remains with us.
I’ve taken another photo from our kitchen window. Basically, the privacy screen needs to start from the wall of our house.

chewbacca12311 Aug 2020 13:59Exactly, that is above the playground.
We have also thought about the terrace, but eventually we want to have a pool behind it.
However, a privacy screen of about 1.80 m (6 feet) directly at the edge of the terrace would probably be the best solution. The terrace you see in this picture is not our main terrace. Our main terrace, which will also be covered, is shown in the following picture.

We have also considered the terrace, but we actually want to have a pool behind it at some point. Within the building setback?

Why don’t you simply plant a mixed hedge with, for example, cherry laurel, golden privet, glossy photinia, Portuguese laurel cherry, ninebark in yellow and red, and other shrubs? You can also buy shrubs that are already fairly large, so you don’t have to wait for years. I wouldn’t recommend bamboo, as Phyllostachys species require a rhizome barrier and over time they may not provide full privacy at the base. Fargesia species don’t look very good in sunlight and also don’t grow very tall.
