Create a natural screen for privacy or to shelter from a prevailing wind or other natural elements.

We grow trees for screening and privacy whether you want to conceal an unsightly view, create additional privacy in your garden, or screen off a section of your property. Trees for screening and privacy can be used in interesting ways in your garden or property. A fence may act as a boundary but if you have overlooking buildings or windows the fence alone may not offer you the screening you would like.

A stilted hedge uses trees that have been specifically produced with this purpose in mind. These trees will have a clear stem to reach up to fence panel height of around 1.8-2m and then a crown forming above this height. Generally, evergreens are preferred for this purpose and can be planted densely to achieve maximum effect from the offset. Laurus nobilis (Bay Laurel) is a great choice in this situation. Stilted screening using pleached or box head trees is another option and a great way to add interest to your garden, using trees to offer extra privacy without compromising on the design. Typically, pleached trees will have a 1.8-2m clear stem and a 2m x 2m flat panel on top to be used for aerial screening above a fence/wall.

Strategically placed evergreens can be a good way to use trees to screen unsightly views or block sightlines and can be positioned as desired to achieve the level of cover required. Quercus Ilex (Holm Oak), is a densely foliaged evergreen tree that gives very good coverage as it matures.

Hedging is also an important component of any screening choice in a garden bringing strength and structure to the design while also providing for privacy planting.

Feathered trees are another great option for screening if space is not a constraint. Trees which are considered feathered will usually have an upright central leading shoot and a stem furnished with evenly spaced and balanced lateral growths down to near ground level according to species.
