We live in a new development which means gardens are generally small and houses are squeezed in on top of each other.
We're generally quite lucky with the position of our house as it's sort of on the corner so our garden backs on to the side of the house over the back from us and their double garage gives us privacy.
The issue is with the neigbours to the right of us. Their garden is elevated - they've got this ugly raised decking at the back of the garden (which their joiner attached to the fence that we paid for without even mentioning it!)
This means that on our side the fence is 6 foot but on there's its much lower. There doesn't seem to be much we can do about that and I did get annoyed last year when all their visitors through it appropriate to lean on our fence and stare into the garden.
Anyway, I'm keen to get as much privacy as we can. I've looked at the willow/bamboo screening and I'm not sure how sturdy it looks?
We could put up some trellis on some sections but others run alongside the patio so not sure if we could do much with that?
Looking for any suggestions? We've already spent a small fortune on the property so not looking to spend too much.
