Make Your Yard More Private
If you just have a spot or two you want to block from view (or where you want the view blocked from), try setting up a few inexpensive lattice panels and planting a small garden bed around them.
Tidy vines will give the lattice panels extra interest -- and help them feel integrated into the landscape.
Be sure you have the right vine for the right spot. Big vines can easily crush a lattice panel, arbor, or even small pergola as they grow.
Small vines, on the other hand, may not grow large enough to adequately cover a large arbor or pergola.
