There are several methods to create small pockets of outdoor privacy even in a densely populated suburban area.
If the lot is small or the privacy quotient high, then a solid fence may be the best answer. It will effectively block unwanted viewers and glares from headlights and it will reduce noise and wind.
Flowering vines
Before starting construction, check local ordinances to make sure a fence of the desired height and style is sanctioned. Even if allowed, such a privacy fence is likely to appear most unfriendly unless it is softened by flowering vines or a street-side bed of tall ornamental grasses or other durable plants. Perrenial vines, such as wisteria or trumpet honeysuckle, may be slow to become established, so the annual purple hyacinth bean or the moon vine may be acceptable interim vines. Trumpet honeysuckle is a twining vine that can grow 15 to 20 feet high.
