Why this page exists
Backyard privacy usually fails at the planning stage.
See privacy on your actual lot
A hedge height on paper is not the same as privacy from your deck, patio, or kitchen window. GardenDream lets you judge the screen on your real space.
Avoid overplanting
Many privacy screens fail because the plants are too large for the bed width or too dense for the space. Visualizing first reduces that risk.
Compare trees vs hedges vs mixed screens
Test multiple privacy strategies before spending on the wrong plant palette or layout.
Make privacy feel designed
The goal is not just blocking a view. It is making the yard feel calmer, deeper, and more usable.
What GardenDream helps you see
Not just what to plant. Where privacy should actually happen.
Most privacy mistakes come from solving the fence line instead of solving the sightline. GardenDream helps you test screening around the patio, deck, pool edge, or side path so the layout works where you live in the yard, not just where the lot ends.
