Properly line plantings or privacy landscape or whatever you call it gives your home seclusion from the others. If you want to add more privacy in the landscape, you can put perimeter plants, stone walls. You can instantly stop those wandering eyes and noise in the neighborhood by getting smart in your landscape design.
