Planting deciduous shade trees—which generally grow from 25 to 60 feet high, depending on the species—is a good way to obscure a neighbor's view from a second-story window or terrace. Positioned over a deck or patio, the canopy provides privacy and shade in the summer. In the winter, the trees' bare branches allow the sun to shine into the house.  #yardprivacy #garden #gardenideas #gardendesign #privacyscreen #gardenprivacy #yardideas #yardprivacy Privacy Landscaping, Garden Privacy, Backyard Privacy, Diy Pergola, Perennial Garden, Garden Arch, Privacy Plants
