More than 35 million single-family homes sit on lots between one-eighth and one-half an acre — meaning neighbours on both sides and in back, with little or no scenery and a decided lack of privacy. Luckily, it's possible to create a peaceful retreat — even in the most urban environment — with thoughtful garden design. Landscaping for Privacy features hundreds of ideas for homeowners who want to turn their garden into a relaxing haven. Including information on plant choices, maintaining hedges, how to buy and build different types of screens, practical tips on using the space surrounding a home in the most efficient and visually satisfying way, and much more. The inspiring photographs and clear drawings provide both inspiration and practical guidance on how to create an outdoor sanctuary.
