Whether your yard is large or small, in the city or rural, privacy is something everyone is wanting. The saying “fences make good neighbors” is definitely true, I would much rather gain backyard privacy by using beautiful, green plants instead of a stiff, boring, ugly fence. Thankfully, there are may great privacy trees for yards both big and small. They shield your outdoor space from loud neighbors, help buffer street noise, and create the sense of seclusion necessary to make your yard a peaceful haven.
