Philadelphia Main Line homes sit on beautiful lots, and yours may be one of the most enjoyable rooms of your home. However, prying eyes from neighbors and passers by can make you feel like a spectacle on your own property. Creating a secluded oasis out of your yard or garden with traditional privacy fencing or living shrub borders is easy, and it protects you from intrusion as well as peering eyes. There are several landscaping ideas to consider when you wish to obscure the view from outside your land.

Traditional privacy fencing ranges greatly in both size and material to suit your existing landscaping ideas. You can choose a tall plank fence that completely conceals your yard, designed for maximum privacy. Another option is a shadow box fence, which offers the same privacy as a plank fence but which has offset slats to add visual appeal. Cottage fencing is shorter than these, standing between three to four feet. Classic picket fences, lattice and scalloped fences are popular cottage fencing options. You can choose from wood, iron and vinyl materials for any of these options.

Shrub hedges are a wonderful alternative to privacy fencing. Instead of a wall of foreign materials, you can put your natural landscaping ideas to work, creating a screen of flowers, grasses and shrubs. Beauty meets function in these gorgeous privacy beds, adding value to the price and enjoyment of your home.
