Effective privacy screens in South Florida yards use dense, south-florida-adapted shrubs like clusia spaced 24 to 32 inches apart, forming a durable hedge that withstands storms. Combine with natural elements like boulder clusters and brick edging to enhance sightlines and curb appeal. Privacy screens should be scaled appropriately to the space and provide layered height for visual interest. Proper placement allows airflow and prevents moisture buildup on walls.
