✿ privacy grasses✿
i love plantscaping and landscaping with a purpose, and privacy and a relatively important purpose!!
if you have priced fencing you’ve probably also looked into other options; and planted grasses is a wonderful alternative to fencing. Hey maybe you’re looking to cover a view, or keep your neighbors from seeing a certain view, whatever the reason is… you always have my support when it comes to planting grasses.
✿ grasses are fairly low maintenance, they require water to get established their first year and then are relatively drought tolerant.
✿ grasses add a lovely aesthetic appeal. they are typically different throughout the seasons giving you year ‘round attraction. they also offer lovely texture and add movement in the garden.
✿ the variety of grasses is seemingly unlimited. this also makes grasses more appealing to plant in your garden. there is always a fun new variety to test out.
✿ these grasses listed are tall in vertical height making them act as perfect privacy screens
✿ grasses are also a cost effective alternative to fencing around your garden as they act as a wonderful hedgerow.
✿ grasses are so important for erosion control, many grasses can be planted on a variety of terrain. this again makes them versatile and important to the garden
✿ grasses act not only as a wildlife habitat for many different critters and birds but also act as a host for a lot of beneficial bugs. they act not only as shelter but also as food to a wide amount of animals and bugs which means they are promoting biodiversity in the garden.
✿ grasses have a fairly quick growth rate!!
