Backyard Landscaping Ideas: Hidden Hideaway

Most landscapes are wide open with all areas of the yard viewable from every other area of the yard. Why not create a little nook for your hidden hideaway?  A corner of the yard works well especially. Hide unsightly fencing such as chain link with a screen of bamboo fencing. It provides privacy, is inexpensive and easy to attach. Arrange seating such as a chaise lounge, bench or patio chairs. Set a small table by the chairs for resting drinks or a book. Place the seating in the corner of the hideaway. Plant shrubs that grow to six feet high on one side of the area to screen the hideaway from the rest of the yard. Leave one side open. While the shrubs are growing use annual flowers growing up trellises to provide the needed privacy. As a final touch add a small fountain and an umbrella to provide shade.
