Since gardens and homes are typically built in rows, it can be difficult to really feel the benefit of your private outdoor space. You want to be able to relax and unwind during the summer days and evenings without feeling overlooked. If you want to turn your garden into the perfect hideaway, here are a few tips from Lawsons to help you make your garden more private.
Add height to your fence
If you are able to see over your fence and into your neighbours’ garden, this can destroy the illusion of privacy in your outside space. The simplest and most attractive solution is to make your fence a little taller by adding a trellis. This has the benefit of looking attractive, rather than anti-social and you can even add some colour using a combination of climbing plants.
Screen off sections
You can use plant hedges, add hurdle fence panels, or even add decking to areas of the garden you wish to screen off. This will help to create separate sections of your garden, with different uses and make each area feel a little more private.
Add Levels
If you don’t want to add hedges or fences to your garden, you can also create different areas by adding different levels. A fantastic option for added privacy is to install a sunken seating area. These can be built within your patio or lawn area by lowering a section and adding seating. These small hideaways are perfect for some extra seclusion and are also a great place to install a fire pit.

This is a collaborative post with Lawsons, but I will be looking into some of these tips to make my garden even more private as our fences are quite low. Below is a picture of my little human in our garden last summer. I’m trying to improve my gardening skills 😀
This is just what mom is looking for! She usually invite friends over and have parties in our front yard and that privacy is what we need. Thanks for the tips.
Glad you found it useful 😀 thanks for stopping by
It is important to have your own private outdoor space & there are many benefits of owning your private outdoor space. This is a really useful blog. Btw I have hired one of local garden designer(https://completedrivesandpatiosltd.co.uk/garden-design-southend-essex). Any views on it?
The fence installed around your home is the first thing that people will see when they visit. It gives privacy, security and protection from animals. Apart from security, it plays a big part in the aesthetic value of your yard also.
