Planting deciduous shade trees—which generally grow from 25 to 60 feet high, depending on the species—is a good way to obscure a neighbor's view from a second-story window or terrace. Positioned over a deck or patio, the canopy provides privacy and shade in the summer. In the winter, the trees' bare branches allow the sun to shine into the house. #yardprivacy #garden #gardenideas #gardendesign #privacyscreen #gardenprivacy #yardideas #yardprivacy Privacy Landscaping, Backyard Privacy, Diy Pergola, Privacy Plants, Outdoor Privacy, Landscaping Business, Pergola Shade, Landscaping Ideas

Purple Wave Petunia: Before 1995, when this hybrid was named an All-America Selection winner, gardeners thought of petunias as upright plants. Purple Wave petunias (and later Wave introductions in pinks and lilac) are more like vines—perfect for growing in hanging pots, along retaining walls or even as a ground cover. #summergarden #garden #gardenideas #gardenplants #summergardening #gardening #gardeningtips Container Gardening Vegetables, Succulents In Containers, Container Flowers, Container Plants, Summer Flowers, Colorful Flowers, Petunia Planter, Flowers Bouquet

An artfully arranged band of bricks handsomely defines the boundary between grass and garden. And if you install the bricks flush with the ground, they also serve as a handy mowing guide: You can run the wheels of a push mower right on top of the edging and pretty much dispense with the string trimmer Brick Garden Edging, Lawn Edging, Garden Borders, Lawn Borders, Paver Edging, Garden Pavers, Landscape Bricks, Landscape Edging, Diy Garden Bed
