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

How much space do you have for the hedge in width?

Thank you for the explanations.

I searched for "fargesia rolled leaves" using the image search on the major search engine and found several pictures. Admittedly, there were close-up shots or individual plants, never a whole hedge. But it still looked very dense and bamboo-like.
At least based on the pictures, I find Fargesia rufa attractive. It is also quite affordable.
But are we still on topic here? I mean, basically, it’s still about privacy screening...

Yes, of course, everything can serve as a privacy screen.

Ferns are beautiful; we planted them around the terrace, and they tolerate full sun without curling their leaves. However, they grow quite wide and overhanging, so they are not ideal for a narrow hedge.

Best regards,
