1. Boundary planting 

The trees are sometimes wrapped around the garden along with the decorative screens. However, this may not always be the right idea as it can make the garden look unattractive. Instead, you should choose a tree that provides the right amount of height and structure to your garden. A great example of such a tree is the Cercidiphyllum Japonicum. The heart-shaped leaves help them to provide a great focal point. The leaves also change color along with the seasons. For example, they are bronze in the spring while yellow and orange in the fall. Therefore, these trees make your garden look more colorful. You can also choose a decorative screen that matches the tree’s color.

2. Take the other garden elements into account

One of the essential aspects of your garden is the fence. Therefore, make sure that the fences are of the right height and material. Climbers can be used around the fence to give them a softer look. To divide the garden into different sections, you can use different types of shrubs. The seating area in the garden must also be highly considered. The seating area should be placed in such a way that you can view inside and outside of the house. There might be a chance that there is no space to incorporate such a seating area. Therefore, you can use built-in chairs. Plants can also be added to reduce the amount of seclusion created.

3. Spread out the plantations 

An area might look secluded as only limited or no plants or shrubs are planted. You can use different plants and trees to add layers to this area. However, take the height and depth of the vegetation into consideration. Please don't stick to a formal arrangement, as it will waste your time. Utilize the decorative trees along with the plantations in such a way that they complement each other. This will help you enhance your garden décor.

4. Make use of living walls

You can improve the plantation designs in your garden with the help of living walls. Another advantage of living walls is that they can hide the unappealing boundary walls. When incorporating a living wall, be careful of the type of vegetation you choose. Make sure that they are sturdy and disease-resistant plants. The plants should also be light and should have shallow roots. The main reason behind having shallow roots is that they will have a limited root area. Therefore, such walls and decorative screens will make the garden look more sophisticated.

5. Use various design techniques 

You can use decorative screens to create different spaces in your garden. This technique will help you design open spaces creatively. You can create different focal points in your garden with the help of decorative laser-cut and solid corten steel screens. Through this, you can attract people’s attention to certain areas of your garden.

6. Design a trail

If there is no trail in your garden, you can create them by dividing different regions. This division can be done with the help of a plant barrier or decorative screens. Even if your garden has limited space, having plants will make your garden look more spacious. If you want to make these paths even more attractive, you can add flowers along with the plants.

To know where to place decorative screens effectively, take a trip to your garden and check the areas that require privacy protection. After locating such an area, think of how you can best use this space. You can use several elements along with decorative screens to improve the visuals. Use the materials you already have to make the best use of the decorative screens in your garden. The ideas mentioned above will help you know a few such techniques.
