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, Garden Privacy, Backyard Privacy, Garden Shrubs, Perennial Garden, Diy Pergola, Garden Landscaping, Privacy Plants

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

You can build a small swale yourself, but for a long, wide one you'll want to hire a pro with earth-moving equipment.
