Our Client Reviews
Outdoor spaces in Brisbane often sit close to neighbours, roads or communal areas. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, hosting a barbecue, or working in the garden, having some level of privacy matters. Evo Landscapes designs and installs custom privacy screens that improve comfort, reduce noise, and offer subtle definition between spaces, without enclosing them completely.
Our team works across Brisbane, delivering practical screening solutions for homes, businesses and apartment complexes. From sleek aluminium panels to natural timber slats, we help clients create spaces that feel more usable, better protected, and well-proportioned.
Why Privacy Screens Make Sense in Brisbane Backyards
In many inner-city and suburban areas of Brisbane, blocks are compact and fences sit just a few metres apart. That closeness can limit how comfortable a space feels, especially when entertaining or spending time outside. Privacy screens are a practical way to address these issues while maintaining airflow and light.
Common reasons clients choose privacy screens include:
- Screening off pools or spas
- Creating a separation between neighbouring patios
- Shielding clotheslines, bins or service zones
- Breaking up long boundary walls
- Softening direct street views
- Adding definition to Alfresco zones
Unlike solid fencing, screens can be customised for partial or full privacy, depending on the level of coverage you want. We work with both horizontal and vertical styles, and offer mixed material options to suit the surrounding garden or architectural design.
Types of Privacy Screens We Install
Privacy screens serve different functions depending on where and how they are used. Evo Landscapes builds and installs screens for all outdoor applications, using materials that hold up well in Brisbane’s weather and suit a wide range of landscape designs.
Timber Privacy Screens
A popular choice for blending with natural gardens or timber decks. Timber screens offer warmth and texture, and can be stained, painted or left to weather naturally. We use hardwoods or treated pine, depending on your preference and budget.
Aluminium Screening Panels
Ideal for low-maintenance screening with a clean, modern look. Aluminium is rust-resistant, lightweight and available in a range of powder-coated colours. Perforated and slatted options are available for airflow and filtered light.
Composite Screening
Made from a mix of recycled wood and plastic, composite privacy screens are durable and fade-resistant. These suit clients wanting the timber look without the upkeep. They work well in pool areas or damp spaces that get limited sun.
Laser-Cut Decorative Panels
These screens double as design features, offering partial privacy while adding a focal point to the space. Available in aluminium or steel, with patterns suited to both modern and traditional homes.
Living Screens
For those who want something more organic, we also install vertical timber frames or wire grids that support climbing plants such as jasmine, star jasmine, or passionfruit. These green screens offer a softer approach to privacy over time.
Where Privacy Screens Work Best
Screens are incredibly versatile and can be used throughout your yard or commercial property to create subtle division or hide practical elements. We’ve installed privacy screens in:
- Courtyards and patios
- Decks and rooftop terraces
- Pool enclosures
- Side access paths
- Entryways and carports
- Outdoor kitchens and BBQ zones
- Bin storage areas
They’re particularly useful in outdoor areas that are overlooked by neighbouring windows or positioned close to shared boundaries.
Custom-Built for Your Space
We don’t use pre-set templates. Every screen we build is made to measure, ensuring a better fit and a more cohesive look. Our team considers the angles of your property, the dominant materials in your home, and how each area of the yard is used.
Customisation options include:
- Slat spacing and orientation (horizontal or vertical)
- Frame material and finish
- Panel width and height
- Gate or access inclusion
- Fixing style – standalone, integrated or wall-mounted
Whether you’re matching existing fencing or creating contrast with your garden design, we’ll help you choose a look that works with your space and needs.
Built for Brisbane Conditions
Brisbane’s subtropical climate brings heat, UV exposure and seasonal storms. That means your privacy screen needs to do more than just look good—it must stand up to the elements.
We ensure every screen is installed with weather performance in mind. This includes:
- Using galvanised fixings and rust-proof coatings
- Selecting durable finishes that resist fading and warping
- Designing for airflow and drainage to prevent mildew or staining
- Anchoring structures to avoid movement during high winds
Our materials are locally sourced where possible and selected based on how they perform under Brisbane-specific conditions.

Privacy Screens FAQs
Do privacy screens count as fencing under Brisbane council rules?
In some cases, yes. If the screen is over a certain height or positioned on a boundary, it may need to comply with fence regulations. We can advise based on your site.
Can you install privacy screens on an existing deck or patio?
Absolutely. We build screens that attach to decking frames, walls or concrete pads using suitable fixings and spacing to suit the layout.
Are there privacy screen options that don’t block all light?
Yes. Slatted, perforated or laser-cut designs allow light and airflow while still providing screening from neighbours or street views.
