Sightlines are crucial to the layout of your backyard. They refer to your line of sight, letting you know what you see at a certain point and what your neighbors see as they look in from the outside. Recognizing your sightlines help in creating the perfect design to reroute or block them.

Privacy does not always need to be a full screen. Sometimes, it just needs to stop the eye, or line of sight, from going any further into your home. The design piece just has to be interesting enough to steal your neighbor’s attention away from accidentally peering into your home.

Don’t let closely built houses and level windows get in the way of enjoying your privacy in your own home. With architectural screening, you can redesign your backyard and turn it into a beautifully exclusive oasis.
