What to plant for privacy in awkward space
Morning folks!
We recently moved into an older house and I’m only now getting a chance to tackle the garden.
It’s a lovely space, but we’d like to add a bit more privacy along this side, as we’re overlooked by the house behind.
We get on really well with the neighbour beside us, so I want to avoid planting anything that could eventually spread or overhang into their garden. Because of the angle of the gardens, we wouldn’t block any of their light regardless of what we planted, but I also don’t want to leave them looking at something unattractive.
The *best* idea I’ve come up with so far is a long corten steel planter with golden bamboo. It seems like it would give us the height we need while keeping everything contained and avoiding any issues with it spreading into the neighbouring garden.
Does that sound like a sensible approach, or is there another evergreen option that would give a similar level of screening without becoming a nuisance over time?
Appreciate anyone that has the chance to offer some advice.
Cheers
