Although fences and brick walls can do the trick, adding an extra divider, screen or plant barrier can block your neighbor’s two-story view for good.

To create your secret retreat, freestanding privacy screens, wood slat partitions and partially enclosed pergolas are effective (and nice to look at). Plants are also a great choice.  Read and see the inspirations: http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/14662845/list/get-backyard-privacy-the-subtler-stylish-way
