        Closer to 10. Yes.

        This is a pretty common thing in the American Midwest. You see it a lot around houses on the tops of hills, especially in new construction. It looks kinda silly for a few years but it’s the best you can do sometimes.

          it astounds me that people don’t do this, really

          like i tend to always pay attention to how nice a property looks when i’m travelling past it, and good god it looks so much more enjoyable when you have a bunch of shade and greenery around you!

          Properties without some sort of tree/hedge wall surrounding it out in the open just look absolutely miserable and trigger a long dormant part of my brain that fears being picked off by a giant bird.

        Alternatively do this with bamboo (properly contained so it doesn’t spread) and it will be giant in under 1 year

    Actually this meme seems like a great spot to ask the lemmings: what structure, plant, or barrier could one use that’s good for a property boundary that would give good privacy/noise reduction?

    There is some length to it so bear that in mind when it comes to costs. Call it 2 acres of length to cover

    looks like hell, actually

    utterly lonely and desolate, no one to help you if you get a health issue, no amenities anywhere nearby, nowhere to take a walk, etc etc etc

    actually more accurately it looks like purgatory, where you await your eternal judgement.

      What a weird take. You think this hedge is some magical barrier?

      looks like purgatory

      Having visited with family that “retired out to the country”, I can tell you that it feels like purgatory as well.

      There could be a major road just out of frame. The trees are probably for a combination of windbreak (especially if this is amidst long stretches of open land), shade, and maybe privacy.

      Who says you can’t have an underground workshop, a gaming setup, a matrix+lemmy+mastodon server, an underground FTTH connection, an escape tunnel with a joyride leading straight to the highway and 100m below all of that, a nuclear power plant.

      Ok, maybe someone will say something about the last one, but… You know?
