Privacy screen for the terraced house garden

Challenges in privacy protection for a terraced house garden

A row house garden is usually not particularly wide and runs like a narrow band in a usually rectangular shape. Since such a garden is usually not very broad, visual protection measures that require approval can be implemented, such as Stone walls due to the prescribed spacing areas only to a limited extent or be erected in consultation with the neighbors. Self high privacy hedges solve the problem only inadequately, as they can easily be overlooked from the balconies of neighboring houses. Therefore, in a terraced house garden, it is important to approach the topic of privacy protection as creatively as possible and, due to the limited space, to integrate it into the garden design in as versatile a manner as possible.

In order to shield views from above as comprehensively as possible, privacy screen variants with a natural character have proven their worth. Since the garden is usually only actively used during the summer months anyway, it is not a problem if this form of privacy protection is rather bare in the winter. In order to generate added value when using the garden, apple trees, for example, with grafting on a half-trunk can be raised in such a way that they form an almost umbrella-like canopy. But you can also let climbing plants grow along tensioned nets or wires in such a way that over the years they form an increasingly dense privacy and shade canopy. Suitable

Climbing plants are for example:

• Trumpet flower
• Wine
• Wild Wine
• Wisteria
• ivy
