@@BackyardDesignGuy I'd love any suggestions you might have on my issue which is side yard along the garage with already paved sidewalk to the backyard. There are about 2-3 feet between the sidewalk and the fence line. Neighbor next door puts up a pergola that is about 12' high and I'm not staring at the tin roof of pergola from my bedroom window. Do not want to do bamboo. Cypress would block my sun. English Laurel does not grow high enough. Any suggestions you have would be totally appreciated.

Seen somebody put up a privacy fence. New neighbor demolishes the quaint little ranch or cape next door. Erects a giant plastic and particle board eyesore (house) 3 floors high, looking down into the other guy's yard. Good fences no longer make for good neighbors. Acreage makes for better neighbors. Or better yet, no friggin' neighbors.

Putting a TV outside defeats the purpose of having an outside ... just my two cents. If you're gonna go out into your garden, don't go there to stare at just another screen, enjoy the nature that you're lucky to have.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

While I do agree with you many do enjoy the outdoor tv for their outdoor space.

What da? It is a video about people wanting privacy or a way to block unsightly neighbors' yards. If you care a lot about those things, why would you not want a screen to block it out? Why is telling the truth unbecoming? Everyone I know wants privacy due to these exact reasons. This poor guy got bashed a million times for posting the incredible work he did and mentioning the reasons people paid him to do it. Geez.

Wish I had your ideas years ago! My neighbors kitchen windows look straight into my living room and there is a 3 foot tall (worthless) concrete wall between our properties. Unfortunately, there are a couple magnificent old tea trees I couldn't bear to remove. So I planted a row of pittosporum, Australian rosemary underneath themto block some of the nuisance. They are just starting to grow tall 4 years later. A fence or screen would have been helpful during those years. However, the property line is covered by the block wall with concrete about 2 feet underground, so it was challenging to build a structure there. Looking forward to seeing more videos about creative solutions from you!

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

[@hhdunlap]

Check your zoning requirements before you install any of these. Generally, no structures are permitted except fences and balconies in the legal side yard. Often there are footprint and height limitations for structures in the legal rear yard. The height and design of all fences are controlled by zoning and building codes.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Great comment. Its always a good idea to chec with local zoning

[@neilwilliamyoung]

Maybe two of these ideas have any merit with most common people. What size backyard do you think most people have?

I spent $50 for a privacy screen from Amazon in 2016. It's 6x60ft. Similar to a wind screen on a tennis court. Dark green. 90% blockage(see thru 10%). It has grommets spaced 4-5ft along the edges. Attaches to 6ft chain link fence with zip ties thru grommets. 100% privacy and cheap. And it looks nice.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

That's awesome! Nice find 👌

[@MississippiTaiter]

Nice vid! Really solid design and making small tight yards have some legit privacy! That’s a must.. all you gotta do is pay some money and do it nice! Keep it up man

Bamboo is an invasive plant.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Yes, it does need to be planted correctly! Proper understanding and care is essential. Thanks for the comment

[@waterdesign6647]

Don’t plant bamboo. You’ll never get rid of it. It is illegal on long island

[@mssixty3426]

He addresses how to control the invasive plant issue in the video . . . ?

[@BouncyBrown]

@Faith Collins Yes! There's running and clumping bamboo.

Hi Mark, thank you for your honest feedback. Thank you for watching.

[@danielsimchuk7562]

Ehh, this doesn't cost too much. The middle class can definitely afford this.

[@juancarlosmontes]

I keep coming back to this video. YT pushes it out to me but I cooperate by clicking LOL. These are fantastic and beautiful solutions. Regarding the perennial griping that goes on in your comment sections about having to be rich to hire your company and blah blah blah...I saw lots of economical solutions in this video. I especially love the living walls. They allow for complete personal choice and individual tastes.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Wow! Thank u for taking the time to comment Juan. I really appreciate it. It sounds like u have your backyard space figured out but if u need any help please don't hesitate to ask. Have a wonderful weekend

[@hectorruiz8716]

Your the go to guy definitely takes pride in his business professional I would give him a blank check for the project at my home straight up .

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your watching and commenting ♥️

[@cbisjr]

do these outdoor screens require a city permit?

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Some of them especially the fireplace ones may require a permit depending on your local building code. Hope that helps

[@jcyork1767]

You just put a wall right in front of your neighbors window! Guy!

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Thank you for the comment

[@karengrice2303]

The living wall is a great low cost idea! Thanks for sharing!

Yay! Glad that it helped. Thanks for watching and commenting ♥️

Gaz Sto - What is y'all's problem? You guys are an ungrateful bunch! They don't have to make videos for you to sit at home and criticize! It's becoming very apparent why you're on KZbin watching videos on "screening out the neighbors". You are antisocial vermin that no one wants to see or talk to!

[@gazsto9510]

@@ejohnson3131 haha got you all up an nasty. I am a carpenter myself and build stuff like this all day long. I was sympathising with the people who can't afford this kind of work and our workshop has a special budget and discount scheme where we build and install children's themed sets from swings to outdoor playhouses. I know the real world thank you and been around long enough to know the difference in what people pay for and for what people need. Screens are very antisocial, maybe you could be friendly for once and you might enjoy some neighbourly company, like we used to do many moons ago. Too many shutting out the world and we wonder why so many are isolated and alone at a time like this. I thought this virus may of changed people's attitudes about community and supporting each other and not shutting each other out. Thanks for the comment though, maybe you might consider living on an island like the rest of the unappreciated and ignorant minority that don't seem to comprehend where all in this together.

[@ejohnson3131]

Gaz Sto - You make me laugh! You're calling the person who posted this video selfish and in another comment you said that if someone planted trees that close to your windows on their property, you would pull out a chainsaw? I'm not together with you in anything, gladly! Now buh bye! Go see if your social security check is ready!

[@swichern9753]

So behind supply stores like Home Depo they have those big medal container trash cans, well you can find a lot of great things in them that are mostly in good condition. Things we’ve gotten we’re 4x 4 and larger up to 16ft, pallets, plants, brick, particleboard, corkboard, cement, basically everything they consider unsellable (totally a great find). So go check out what’s in their trash bins. You may not be able to afford it so go and hustle it.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Thank you for this tip! I really appreciate the comment.

[@jlseagull2.060]

Nice! Got some ideas for my DIY projects! No bamboos has in the ground!! They spread like crazy in a few years. Keep them in containers is okay.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Yes. That may be a good idea if u are worried about the running of the bamboo rhizomes.

[@killercaritas9442]

Dang I just have a regular backyard

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

There is a lot u can do with a " regular yard". Thanks for the comment

[@a.m.brashearsr.5013]

I’m going buy a lottery ticket the only way a normal person can afford these ! If you have the money to build these what the hell are you still living there ? Buy 5 acres and build in the center ! 😳

Thanks for the comment and for watching .

Clearly you just watched the first part of the video. If you continued to watch the whole thing you would have seen the more affordable options.
