Garden Fences: YOUR CHOICE of boundary material will greatly affect the overall appearance of your backyard. Although many fences, walls and hedges are used as screens, they should not always turn the eye inward; any vistas beyond the garden Fences should be framed with well-sited gaps in the boundary.
Walls serve many purposes in the garden Fences: they can provide an impenetrable barrier around the outside of it to stop prying eyes and deter trespassers. Inside the plot, low walls can be used to outline particular areas, such as flower beds and patios, or taller walls can be built to create a safe enclosure for small children, conceal one part from another, or create a "secret" walled garden Fences. Compared to walls, fences are quicker and simpler to construct. But it is well worth taking some time to work out not only what you want yours to look like, but also what you want it to do. Fencing, entrances and gates should always be incorporated into the overall design of your home and garden Fences, whether marking a boundary, partitioning, screening or simply providing a decorative feature.
This must be done in such a way that one is not too aware of the intent. Background plantings of trees and shrubs, as well as walls and fences must seem to belong, to be part of the picture, to have purpose. They should be married to the earth and to buildings and other features so that unity is achieved. Don't screen out favorable views from the garden Fences. Preserve them, frame them with appropriate planting, use them as focal points. These are "windows" through which you look from your garden Fences to the outside world. |
