Privacy Shrubs

Privacy Shrubs At Nature Hills Nursery

When you are planning your landscape, privacy should be at the top of your list!

Going hand in hand with defining your property and blocking unsightly views, Privacy Shrubs become the backbone of your design!

Choosing Your New Privacy Shrubs

Privacy Shrubs should be selected based on the height required for a hedge, the denseness of the shrubbery, and the length of time the privacy is desired. Sun amount and your Hardiness Zone are the best places to start!

Whether you live in a cold climate with plenty of snow in the winter, or a warm growing zone with high heat and humidity all year round, Nature Hills has a Privacy Shrub for you.

Evergreen Privacy Shrubs

For complete year-round privacy, an evergreen shrub would be the best choice! (Remember if no one can see in, no one can see out either).

Some of the best evergreen and broadleaf evergreen options for a hedge are Holly, Privet, Rhododendrons, Yews, Juniper, and Arborvitae. Hot climate shrubs include Japanese Cleyera, Osmanthus, and Laurel.

Get the best of both worlds with flowering evergreen and broadleaf evergreens like Pieris, Tea Olive, Camelias, Fringe Flowers, Mountain Laurel, and Gardenias!

Airy screening plants include Serviceberry and Forsythia, Hydrangea, and Viburnum! These plants have edible fruit, or showy ornamental fruit for birds, and Hydrangea have showy dried blooms that persist all fall and winter!

Deciduous Flowering Privacy Shrubs

To have privacy and some landscape color during the growing season, many deciduous shrubs have dense branching to provide light screening even in the winter months!

Deciduous shrubs offer seasonal, and in many cases, fragrant and flowering choices! Some even have great fall colors to finish out the growing season!

The best deciduous Privacy Shrubs include Hydrangeas, Lilacs, Azaleas, and more!

Landscape Seclusion At Nature Hills

Both evergreen and deciduous shrubs offer many selections of heights, and widths, and provide wonderful foliage in various shades of green.

Some of the largest Privacy Shrubs are great landscape backdrops, hedges, and barrier plantings, and some of the tallest Privacy Shrubs even block the view from the neighbor's second and third-story windows!

While smaller Privacy Shrubs block your pool seating, patio, and sunbathing areas, but won't block your view.

Some of the skinniest and columnar shrubs for privacy include Fine Line® Buckthorn, Castle Spire® and Castle Wall® Blue Holly, First Editions® Straight Talk® Privet, First Editions® Straight & Narrow® Japanese Privet, Sky Pencil Holly, and Green Columnar Juniper. That way you will enjoy lush privacy without sacrificing any space!
