my house in the backyard slopes down so only thing i could do is plant Leyland Cypress trees around the entire perimeter which works great for all the surrounding house but one and that is the house directly behind me . four trees have failed to grow because of water build up so i moved several trees a little and they are finally growing but nothing like the 25 foot ones nor the neighbors, i never understood the lady behind i know she has seen me nude on several occasions and didn't much like it but she had one tree that filled the open space and blocked her view to my yard than she had a landscape company come in and prune the tree to being as bare as me and than she moved ?? new neighbors always out back back working in they're yard not sure they have seen me nude they are super nice so don't want to make them mad but spring is here .
It's a little mixed.
Our property has a nice fence around it, so folks would have to work to see inside. We had to add some shadecloth to the fence towards the front to make sure we couldn't be seen from the street.
We don't really care about being seen so much as we care about those who see us being offended or making a big deal out of it. We just want to respect them. So if they're okay with it, then we couldn't care less if they get a look. If it bothers then, well, we've made sure that nobody can see anyways without going on their roof, climbing on our wall or making some other serious effort to do so.
I think it comes down to mutual respect. Some folks don't want to see our bodies. That's fine. We just need to be open in our discussion so they can avoid looking and we can do whatever is reasonable to keep them from seeing. For those who don't care, great! Maybe they'll want to come over and enjoy some poolside Vit D harvesting.
When I bought this place is was a rancher on 3/4 acres and no fence. It is on the end of the culdisack and all houses are ranchers. My property backs up to 65 acres of farm land with a nice pond and relaxing view. First thing I did was have a six foot privacy fence installed on the street side, left and right running back to the property line in the back. In the back I had a four foot chain link fence put in (I have dogs) so I could enjoy the view from my deck.
So, having said that. The lady who inherited the farm a couple of years ago runs around on her golf cart or something. If I'm sitting on the deck, I just wave and she waves back. If a neighbor on the sides wants to peak through the cracks in the fence, they are working at it. I mow the back yard nude and don't worry about it. I have never had a complaint and it isn't like I'm flashing them or something. I don't worry about it. I just enjoy being nude in the house and back yard.
As you can see from our profile pic, our backyard is private, we put the wood fence up 5 years ago. Before that we had a chain link and a 4 1/2 foot tall and a straggly hedge, we liked to sunbathe nude, so I bought one of those 4 foot tall beach wind breaker fences, I'd put up when we laid out. I gotta say that thing was awesome you couldn't see us laying down. I'm always naked in the backyard. we have a canal behind us where a 55 and older community is on the other side, it's about75 feet from my back fence. we have older neighbors on each side of us, after we put the fence up and lattice on top the east side neighbors wife said damn you can go naked back there..... I took that opportunity to say, funny you say that, I'm always naked back there, so if the grand kids come over just make sure they don't get on a ladder lol. At the time her husband was 75, he's now 81, loves working on the house and is always doing something, painting, fixing lights, working on the roof, I just wave and he waves back lol., He's knocked on the gate a few times to barrow something, I've said hold on let me get some sorts on unless you don't care... He was laughing and said "hell what do I care, you know I've seen you several times already over the fence", so I just open it naked. My wife at first was like what's wrong with you LOL... I said you have to understand, he's in his mid to late 70's, nudity is NO BIG DEAL to him and his generation. The guy on the west side, who is in the same age group, saw me out front one day and said, hey just so you know, you have a few boards warping.... I said sorry about that, I'll get them fixed today. He was like no worries, I should've linked off your fence and did my back and west side like yours, for pool privacy LOL.... So I'm lucky both neighbors know and are cool with it. I added an outdoor shower on the west side of the fence a little over a year ago, I've only taken a shower in the house like 7 times since I installed the shower. I have had a few roofers see me and the neighbor across the street (he's younger in his mid 40's), he was working on his flat roof, I was taking a shower and looked towards the front of the house and we saw each other and waved. The next time he saw me, he told me, damn I need to get one of those outdoor showers put in.
