Privacy Shrubs

Privacy Shrubs at Nature Hills Nursery

shop the best in privacy shrubs at nature hillsPrivacy Shrubs are one of the smartest choices when planning your landscape. They not only define your property and block unwanted views, but they also become the backbone of your outdoor design.

How to Choose the Best Privacy Shrubs

Selecting the right shrub depends on three things: the height you need, how dense you want your hedge to be, and how long you want that privacy to last. Sun exposure and your hardiness zone are the best places to start.

Whether you live in a cold climate with snowy winters or a warm growing zone with heat and humidity year-round, you'll find the perfect Privacy Shrub at Nature Hills.

Evergreen Privacy Shrubs

For year-round protection, evergreen shrubs are your best bet. They stay lush and green even through winter.

  • Classic Evergreens: Holly, Privet, Rhododendrons, Yews, Junipers, Arborvitae
  • Hot Climate Favorites: Japanese Cleyera, Osmanthus, Laurel
  • Flowering & Fragrant Evergreens: Pieris, Tea Olive, Camellias, Fringe Flower, Mountain Laurel, Gardenias
  • Airy Screening Plants: Serviceberry, Forsythia, Hydrangea, Viburnum

Deciduous Flowering Privacy Shrubs

If you prefer seasonal interest, deciduous Privacy Shrubs deliver flowers, fragrance, and often vibrant fall color. Many also offer dense branching that provides light screening even when leaves drop.

  • Colorful Options: Hydrangeas, Lilacs, Azaleas
  • Seasonal Appeal: Blooms in spring and summer, brilliant fall foliage
  • Fragrance & Wildlife Value: Many varieties attract pollinators and birds

FAQ's for Buying Privacy Shrubs Online

What are the best privacy shrubs for year-round coverage?
Evergreen privacy shrubs like Arborvitae, Holly, Privet, and Yew offer dense foliage that provides consistent coverage throughout all seasons. Broadleaf evergreens such as Camellias, Gardenias, and Tea Olive add color and fragrance along with privacy.

Can privacy shrubs be used in small spaces?
Yes, narrow and columnar shrubs like Sky Pencil Holly, Castle Spire® Blue Holly, and Straight Talk® Privet are ideal for creating privacy in tight areas without sacrificing valuable yard space.

Which flowering shrubs offer both beauty and privacy?
Deciduous flowering shrubs like Lilacs, Hydrangeas, Azaleas, and Forsythia provide seasonal blooms, fragrance, and foliage density that contribute to both visual appeal and screening during the growing season.

What is the best way to choose privacy shrubs for my yard?
Start by identifying your USDA Hardiness Zone and the amount of sun your space receives. Then choose shrubs based on desired height, growth habit, and whether you prefer evergreen or seasonal coverage.

How tall can privacy shrubs grow?
Privacy shrubs vary greatly in height. Some stay compact at 3 to 6 feet, ideal for patios and pools, while others like Nellie Stevens Holly or Viburnum can reach over 20 feet, providing privacy from multi-story buildings.
