Types of Privacy Trees
An increasing number of people are choosing privacy trees over fences when it comes to enjoying their property. They’re using tall privacy trees for privacy from neighbors, what might be called “privacy fence trees.” They are much more visually appealing than fences and provide the same result.

Good Trees For Privacy
Once you’ve decided to use privacy trees for the backyard, it’s time to select the right privacy tree type. Experts recommend certain species of trees or shrubs to create an effective and eye-pleasing privacy screen.
There are two broad options to choose between when selecting privacy trees for the backyard:
Evergreen Privacy Trees
Many people choose evergreen trees for privacy and consider them the best trees for privacy. They fill in nicely as they mature and they offer a nice consistent look for a privacy screen. Unlike deciduous trees and shrubs, evergreens maintain their foliage and color year-round. However, they won’t provide you with the color diversity that you’ll find with many deciduous trees.
Deciduous Privacy Trees
These trees and shrubs come in many varieties, which can make for an effective and colorful privacy screen, and some are fast growing privacy trees. The drawback is that they lose their leaves in the late fall and throughout the winter when they’re dormant. For this reason, they won’t provide you with year-round privacy.
Privacy Screen Height and Width
When you select your privacy trees, you’ll want to make sure that they reach the right height for your screen when they’re full grown. You’ll want them tall enough to hide particular views, but you don’t want them to be so tall that they reach overhead power lines or endanger your home.
Level of Maintenance of Privacy Trees
Another important consideration is maintenance costs and time. Some hedges require regular pruning to ensure they maintain their neat appearance. Consider choosing a medium-height evergreen tree if you’re looking for a low-maintenance privacy tree.
