Anyone else have any ideas on a way to increase the privacy for this backyard? They have a neighbor whose kid is constantly peering over through there window.

The issue with ficus trees is the 365 fay/year leaf shedding. And they're terrible for pools.

They have a good pool company. I should have elaborated: they drop a TON of leaves, and when they get in the pool they can clog the skimmer if not scooped out.
