Use drought-resistant plants when creating a berm, because water tends to run off the incline, leaving plants thirsty and undernourished. The berm should not be too narrow or steep, because a broad, gently rising area blends with the yard more naturally.

You can also incorporate herbaceous perennials, ornamental grasses, and annuals into your hedge for interest and variety.Īnother option for screening your property is an earthen berm or mound with plantings, which serves as a living hillside. One of De Pue’s favorite combinations includes burgundy ninebark, variegated red-twig dogwood, dwarf lilac, golden privet, and Onondaga viburnum. If you’re using deciduous shrubs, mix different kinds and colors to make your hedge interesting.

If you have lots of space and need to screen your yard from a multi-story building next door, larger evergreens like blue spruce, white pine, or hemlock can do the job.

“They have the effect of looking like little soldiers, but if you have a narrow area, that might be your best alternative,” says Judy De Pue, owner of New Vistas Landscaping in Goshen, IN, and president of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers. Arborvitaes are fast-growing evergreens that come in many sizes. For year-round privacy, evergreens may work better. When planning your hedge, remember that deciduous plants drop their leaves, so most of your screen will disappear in the winter. Popular climbing annuals include morning glories and scarlet runner beans. Good perennial vines to grow on a trellis include clematis, honeysuckle, and Dutchman’s pipe. If you use a trellis to screen your deck, you may have to combine it with a structure like a pergola across the top for support. If you’re going to use one on your porch, you’ll also need to secure it to the frame or soffit. Most trellises have stakes that go into the ground. They can be made of pressure-treated wood, plastic, iron, copper, or aluminum-just make sure the trellis is sturdy enough for the plant you grow on it. “Trellises are very handy because they take up very little space,” says Doug Gagne of The Mixed Border Nursery and Gardens in Hollis, NH. Plants grown on trellises create an effective screen that allows light and air to pass through. Consider the following landscaping ideas, which are not only aesthetically pleasing, but quite practical as well. Your yard can do more than just look pretty.
