We're thinking we want to plant some that will grow fairly tall and thick but not so thick that it will take over our yard or the neighbors.

What do people plant in this part of Florida to provide some level of privacy in these small yards? Or is everyone just so darned friendly that you don't mind reaching out from your lanai and shaking hands with the folks over in their lanai?

Thanks in advance for any advice!


Read your deed restrictions, privacy hedges are not allowed by the developer.
