Your garden should be a quiet escape that is hidden from curious eyes, where you and your family and friends can sit back and relax. Of course, it is easier said than done to create a real feeling of privacy – and usually includes a fence, a pergola or even a hedge.
Ultimately, different solutions correspond to different yards and aesthetics – from solid rock walls to a number of dense border facilities. Here we have collected ideas in the garden private sphere that help your space feel calmer than ever before.
Create a green space
Hoerr Schaud and Scott Shigley
Outdoor entertainment is the last anger in the warmer months – but it is best when the neighbors don't come in during their dinner party or their cocktail lesson. Hoerr used in this room and other leaves to create a feeling of privacy.
“These plantings not only alleviate the boundaries of the garden, but also offer essential privacy and a quiet escape from the urban environment,” says Simon Prunty, the company's project designer and one of his partners. “This transforms the room into an inviting extension of the house.”

A natural, organic barrier can feel even more lavish a green garden. In this room after landscape design, designer Laach Solbati surrounded the wooden fence with shrubs, trees and other leaves. The result is a wall that feels like it is part of nature and that contributes to its surroundings.

Sometimes the best way is to create privacy by adding a different structure to the mix. In this case, the layered house added a Cabana to the Pool area and created another lonely area in the back yard. It is a retreat from other guests where visitors can relax, relax and watch TV.
Create a border garden
Martha's garden in Bedford, New York, is a constant source of inspiration. Here Pergolas Wisteria, Allium and Camassia create a sensitive, colorful edge that effortlessly gives a feeling of privacy and seclusion.
Wall it off

Not all walls have to be rocky solid. If you leave some natural light in your back yard, you feel open and airy – and at the same time can keep a feeling of privacy. In this seating area, a black iron private sphere gives a touch of elegance and calm and rounds off the fireplace and the above pergola.

Sometimes traditional combinations and layouts work best. In this back yard, a path area is surrounded by a rock wall that is reminiscent of timeless English hut gardens. Strikers bind this data protection screen into the surrounding landscape and give the wall more altitude.
Put it in stone
Hoerr Schaud and Scott Shigley
Nothing creates privacy like a stone wall. However, it is important to include these structures in their existing landscape design so that they do not look too hard against an otherwise lavish background. In this picturesque garden, Hoerr was inspired by the historical residence.
“By designing a new wall with stones from the same quarry as the original materials of the house, we have retained the construction of design and a coherent range of materials,” says Simon Prunty.
In addition, Stone helps to disassemble all the surrounding city noises and create a really quiet escape.
A pergola
Mamas Design Build
A private garden does not have to sacrifice style and cosiness. In this outer kitchen of Mamas Design Build, string lights of the pergola give a little warmth. The structure itself creates a separate area in the courtyard and a barrier for additional privacy.
Lean in wood

For a certain reason, wooden fences are a proven design choice. Your natural material and your degree work well with the surrounding landscape and are a simple, elegant way to keep curious neighbors at bay. This example from Studio BV comprises an outdoor seating area – a grill and many Bukolian views.
Cover your kitchen
Vivian Johnson, Price Hard Design
Outside kitchens are a place where family and friends can gather for drinks, conversations and relaxation – so you should feel very private. This example has a pergola that covers the room and offers shadows and a white fence for an additional layer of seclusion.
Switch on the TV

In general, televisions should be kept inside, but if your outdoor setup allows this, should you set up one so that you can watch the big game with friends? This outdoor area outdoors has a wooden fence for privacy, but also contains a television screen and a seat, which creates the ultimate hiding place.
Sprinkle
Kroeger Intinarelli and Patterson team
Pools should be dreamy, funny and above all remote. Here the architectural firm Kroeger Intinarelli worked with the landscape architect Tim Paterson to create a pool house that mainly acts as another room in the house. The exception? It is completely hidden from the rest of the property, so it feels like a completely separate unit.
