You can do this via the chgrp method, too. Just chown /home to root:webusers 
and remove the group-read-flag (NOT the group-exec-flag, otherwise a user 
won't be able to access his own home):

$ chown root:webusers /home
$ chmod 715 /home

Removing the read flag from a directory prevents the user to read the 
directory contents, but if the executable flag is set he still can access a 
file or subdirectory if he knows the name.

Kind regards,
