Privacy for backyard? trees?
I love my backyard it is pretty big but my only problem is there is no privacy. The house behind and beside me are both 2 story houses. so, if they wanted, they could just look out their second floor window and see directly into our yard. I was thinking of putting a couple of palm trees on either side but not sure if it will cover enough.

One of the trees that have the best coverage is the Leyland Cypress Tree. This is one of the most popular trees used to create natural barriers because they grow 3-4 feet a year, it grows in a majestic pyramid shape, is very low maintenance, doesn’t require much pruning, and is very adaptable to different soil conditions and climates. Leyland Cypress Trees also grow well in the sun or shade, and handle drought conditions very well. The other plus is that it is sturdy and thick enough to serve as a wind barrier. Leyland Cypress Tree can help keep your privacy all year round because there is continual foliage from this type of tree.
Another common tree that is used, and is probably the easiest to maintain in our busy lives, is the Thuja Green Giant Evergreen. They require no trimming or pruning because they grow naturally in the cone shape everyone strives for. These trees grow 3-5 feet a year and they are one of the hardiest of the hardy. Thuja Green Giant Evergreen trees are also very hardy against disease, such as the fungus Cerosporidium sequoiae. These trees are also very resistant to insects. Not even the deer will bother them. One other very nice advantage to the Thuja Green Giant Evergreen is the aromatic scent they give off. The smell they constantly give off can keep the air in your yard smelling clean and fresh year around.
Fairly new to the landscaping arena is the Dynamite Crape Myrtle. If you want to add color to your landscaping just plant some of these trees. This tree blooms all summer long, giving you the most majestic scarlet reds you have ever seen. This tree has typically been used in high-end homes or commercial developments. It is now available to the general public. The mature height is 20-30 feet with a 15 foot spread. Can grow in full to partial sun and is also very adaptable to soil and weather condition. This tree is just gorgeous and because of this, has won many awards for landscapers who have utilized this tree in their designs.

It would take very tall trees to prevent people on a second floor from seeing into your home. Trees won't grow fast enough to give you privacy now, you would have to wait years. Palm trees are especially slow growers. Try putting awnings on your windows. Or blinds on the inside. They can be adjusted to provide light and ventilation along with privacy.

Yes Palm trees are slow growers...but there are bushes and shrubbery just made for what you wish. There is also fast growing very tall bamboo. Most of the places that have palm trees have bushes that make excellent short trees but much fuller. Go to your local nursery and get ideas....don't buy until you look them up online.

You'd have to buy big ones, as they grow slow. Not much you can do in the short term though with 2 story houses next door. Might be able to create some perception of privacy buy putting up tall trellises with fast growing vines to screen off the other houses
