Being one of the most famous music and movie stars, Jennifer Lopez knows more about the power of privacy than anyone else. Of course, the actor, singer, and dancer needs her home to be as private as possible so that it becomes her sanctuary from the public eye. J. Lo’s yard is the embodiment of this tendency to the letter.
The multi-hyphenate backyard is visible, green, and surrounded by a fence, meaning only selected people can access it. An emerald-green, lush, and harmonious lawn augments the beds of giant evergreen proficient trees. The plants are pretty tall trees and shrubs, and they grow around the whole garden, making a compact fence. Apart from the aesthetic feature, hedges play a significant role in ensuring privacy for the actress, adding that these hedges are beautiful to the eyes.
‘If you are considering putting up a sanctuary in your backyard, then growing evergreen hedging is a perfect solution for hiding boundaries and effectively providing an enclosed space in which one can garden, exercise or chill like how Jennifer Lopez likes to in her courtyard,’ states Thom Rutter, Gardening Editor at Homes & Gardens. There is nobody to see inside, and there are some humanitarian advantages.
Do you want to emulate Jennifer’s ultra-secret landscaping technique? Rutter has all the tips you need to recreate the look. He says, ‘Fine privacy screens of this kind can be created with you, beech, or laurel, some of the hardy and fast-growing shrubberies.’
According to him, hedges also bring a cheerful, sunny disposition to any yard area, aside from the privacy factor. According to Rutter, there are more benefits of hedging in your yard. Whether evergreen or deciduous, hedges offer shelter to birds and food for pollinators in the green growth.
Regarding keeping your yard looking like that of J. Lo, he noted, however, that ‘many birds would have created nests in the hedges during spring breeding season, hence the need to pack the hedge trimmer for this season and embrace the tweeting of young chicks.’ However, caring for local wildlife is essential if you choose to turn your yard into an oasis.
This evergreen shrub makes the perfect privacy hedge for your cozy and secluded backyard. Maximize comfort just like Jennifer Lopez and get started on your garden paradise.
