Installing a fence isn’t cheap, but the cost of a real-life one made of shrubs and bushes can fly off the charts.

Traditional fencing for a 70-by-90-foot lot could run $3,000 to $5,000, depending on materials, reports HouseLogic. Privacy screening plants for the entire perimeter easily could cost double that, especially if you use a landscaper.

That’s why it’s critical for homeowners to spend wisely when planning to install a living privacy screen.
