Long box planters are great for dividing spaces, if you add low profile plants it will simply divide the space and if you add taller grasses or trees it acts as a privacy screen. 

Vertical planters can be used as a privacy screen and add additional greenery to your space. Be mindful to choose an option that matches the exterior of your home so it blends in.

Grouping pots in a similar color palate adds interest and texture to a space. Add taller trees to the back and mix in some shorter plants to the front pots.  

Pergola and accent walls come in many different styles and materials. Depending on how they are built they can also offer shade.

Outdoor curtains and roller shades are great for creating privacy, blocking light, and filtering noise.  

Foutains add tranquility and help cancel out noise pollution.
