10 Best Plants To Grow For Backyard Privacy

If you need privacy in your yard, but don’t want to—or can’t—install a fence, you still have plenty of options. There’s a great selection of trees, shrubs, and vines that can help you turn your property into a secluded retreat. Check out this list of our favorites.

1. Cacti

Give your backyard a modern twist by planting cacti. It’s perfect when you’re situated in an area with hot, dry climate.

2. Boxwood

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.

3. Artificial boxwood

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.

4. Bamboo

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.

5. Privet

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.
