Create Privacy and Beauty with Screening Trees: Top Choices for UK Gardens
When it comes to enhancing privacy, reducing noise, and adding structure to your garden, screening trees are the ultimate solution. Whether you’re looking to create a natural boundary, shield your outdoor space from prying eyes, or simply add year-round greenery, the right screening trees can transform your garden into a secluded haven.
Why Screening Trees Are Ideal for UK Gardens
Screening trees not only provide privacy but also act as windbreaks, reduce noise pollution, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space. With the right selection, you can enjoy a garden that feels both private and picturesque, no matter the season.
Top Screening Trees to Consider
1. Tall Ancient Olive Tree
For a dramatic and timeless statement, our Tall Ancient Olive Tree is a perfect choice. Standing tall with its gnarled trunk and silvery-green foliage, this tree creates a natural screen while adding Mediterranean charm to your garden. Its dense canopy provides excellent coverage and privacy, making it ideal for boundary planting.
2. Multi-Stem Olive Tree
If you’re looking for a more architectural and contemporary feel, the Multi-Stem Olive Tree offers a striking silhouette. With multiple trunks and a bushy crown, it provides ample screening while adding texture and interest. Perfect for modern garden designs or to create a focal point with a practical purpose.

How to Choose the Right Screening Tree
When selecting the best screening trees for your garden, consider:
• Height and Growth Rate: Choose trees that grow to the desired height without requiring constant pruning.
• Evergreen vs. Deciduous: For year-round coverage, opt for evergreens, while deciduous options can offer seasonal interest.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Consider how the tree’s shape, foliage, and flowers will complement your existing landscape.
Care and Maintenance Tips for Screening Trees
To ensure your screening trees remain healthy and vibrant:
• Watering: Establish a consistent watering routine, especially during the first year of planting.
• Pruning: Regularly trim to maintain the desired shape and encourage dense growth.
• Fertilising: Use a balanced fertiliser to promote healthy foliage and root development.
