Privacy screens for both full sun and part shade areas
Comments (1)as to the immediacy of the window.. look into window films... i put one of the classic wisteria stained glass ... in the center of a rather large window ... so i can get more light by more fully opening the drapes ... but more privacy with them half shut ... in doing this.. then you can work with more time.. as to planting something in the yard.. to eventually grow to do the same thing ... a pic of your area.. would help peeps like me.. who cant work on words alone ... especially if you took one pic from upstairs.. down into the area ... ken Here is a link that might be useful: link...See Moreneed more privacy!
Comments (10)We're on the lower part of this slope area in this subdivision, and we're having bad comments, gossips being spread by the neighbor next by..... they're all made up stories anyway so we'd tried not to pay attention to them. But then they male neighbor shot our garage with bb gun and threw rocks at our dog! This throwing rocks only happened when we're at work. No one's home during the day. The shots though happened when my husband and I were at the garage. We heard the pumped 7 to 8 times. We confronted him but he cussed at my hubby... wished we had the surveillance camera then. I called the Sheriff and he advices me to install cameras around our property since we're on the lower area. The bad neighbor threw a fit, and also installed cameras on their house! In their case, they don't have to since they still see us without them. Ours is to protect us and our property, not intended to harass them or anyone on the neighborhood. Here's my idea; since they already had their 6'ft tall fence along with their camera aimed at us, I am planning on installing posts along their fence (on our property line only) then leave the space where their green fence exposed and start our wooden board up higher than theirs so they won't be able to see us nor peek on us every time we come out from our front door or when we go to our own yard. I need your opinion too on this........See MoreMulching in treed area - advice
Comments (7)Interesting thought, about splinters. Here's my mechanistic explanation. Usually a splinter is driven into skin when you slide along a solid heavy object. There has to be enough force to punch through. Rather like a tornado driving a 2x4 into a tree: normally it wouldn't go unless significant force is applied. When you step on wood chips, they are light so they move around. There is not enough force applied to the tip of that splinter to drive it through your skin. It gets pushed out of the way. It's not that there aren't splinters. The conditions just aren't right for them to poke you....See MoreTall privacy landscaping for a tough area
Comments (5)If you want it more at ground level, you want a shrub form rather than a tree. Or a vine growing up that trellis. It is difficult to make recommendations when we can only see a small piece of fence and bed without any context. Can you step back a ways so that you can take a photo that includes the surroundings, including both existing trees, the fence, the walkway, and any other nearby structures or large plants? What are the space's dimensions?...See Moreellusionz
