Plants For Screening

Home owners seem increasingly keen to gain that little bit more privacy in their garden and there are a number of fast growing plants – whether they be smaller trees, shrubs, climbers or bamboos - that can be used for quick screening.

The one big draw back to consider when choosing such plants is that plants rarely stop growing when they get to the sort of height that you require them to reach, and this can mean on going pruning and green waste to cope with or the possibility of having your garden shaded by excessive growth. If this looks like it might be the case then why not choose something that grows less quickly?
