Trees, shrubs - doesn't matter to me. The problem that I see with back to back lanais is the sound and no landscaping is going to solve that issue. I rented a designer in Largo whose lanai was no more than 30 feet from the one behind. I felt like I had to whisper to my wife.

But on the other hand we are very glad that we rented that type since we now know that we want some form of backyard privacy. Golf course or preserve or maybe even side street. I know it's not silent but at least it is not other people hearing your every word and you hearing theirs.

I have a question for CYV owners who have a wall behind with another villa on the other side - Can you still hear them over the wall? Is it just as annoying?
