Garden hedges living fence

We planted this photinia hedge as a ‘stilted hedge’ 5 years ago. Stilted hedges are great when you don’t want to completely screen a wall (we like our dry-stone wall) but need a boundary.

One of the best ways to get privacy from your neighbors, or to screen unwanted views is to plant a hedge. But which shrubs make the best screens? If you have a small garden, I'd like to steer you in a direction that cuts down your overwhelm:

If you're thinking of planting a hedge in your garden, why settle for plain evergreen bushes when you could grow some flowering hedge plants. From a Camellia hedge to a lilac hedge to other blooming evergreens, you have lots of beautiful shrubs to choose from for your privacy screen.
