Don’t count a house out just because its close to a neighboring home or it’s in view of a neighbor’s unsightly shed – consider adding privacy.  For around $3,000, Ginger Valley Nursery can plant a row of evergreen trees along a 100 foot wide lot, creating a seven to eight foot high barrier and the privacy you desire.  In the lower photo here, you can’t see that the trees block a Walgreens pharmacy. It’s an easy and affordable way to transform an open yard into one with  year-round privacy.  For greater variety you can also stagger rows of arbor vitaes or add spruce trees.
