Give your backyard a modern twist by planting cacti. It’s perfect when you’re situated in an area with hot, dry climate.
Boxwood also makes a lovely option for the ground. It adds English garden-style charm when trimmed into spheres or hedges. If height isn’t a major factor with your privacy screen, you don’t need to wait for the boxwood to grow tall before achieving the results you desire.
If you don’t have time to grow those hedges for your backyard, or you don’t want to spend for its maintenance and upkeep, go for artificial plants.
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world, so it can create a lush and exotic privacy screen very quickly. Some varieties of bamboo are invasive, so choose a slow-spreading, clumping variety, or consider planting it in large raised planters to keep it under control.
When choosing privet as a backyard privacy plant, consider the space you have since privet may take time to grow into lush hedges. Hire a landscaper in this case.
