Tall grasses in a large grouping can be a perfect solution for screening an unpleasant view. For best effect, choose tall species such as big bluestem (it can reach 6 feet or more), moor grass (it can reach 7 feet or more), or ravennagrass (it can reach 12 feet or more).

Test Garden Tip: Keep in mind that you'll cut back ornamental grasses in early spring, so there will be a month or two while your grasses are growing that you won't have a screen.
