The best plants for fence line privacy are tall-growing shrubs with dense evergreen foliage that can shield you from prying eyes all year round. In this guide, I’m covering the best evergreen hedges for privacy including varieties that will thrive in both shade and sun, as well as colder and warmer climates.

Evergreens like Arborvitae and Leyland Cypress are excellent for privacy, creating dense barriers that shelter birds. Holly varieties, with their dense foliage and berries, offer both privacy and a vital food source for birds during scarce winter months.
