Projects to upgrade your backyard

Your yard may already be partially isolated by foliage, and you may just need to cover some areas with screens to get full privacy.

A simple way to do this: Extend a cable from tree branches or poles set in concrete and hang inexpensive fabric screens. You can also hang the screen from a 2×4 header set on posts.

Vegetation establishes privacy in an organic way. But even fast-growing varieties take years to mature, so take on this project with an eye toward the future.
