Garden Screens: HEDGES, WALLS and fences make ideal screens and can introduce different moods and styles as you walk through the garden screens. They are also invaluable for screening off unattractive areas like the compost pile and garbage storage areas, but do not just build screens and forget about them: they ought to be attractive, architectural features.
Apart from these structural uses of shape, a garden screens is kept alive and interesting through its detail, by the constant interplay between neighboring plants. USE VERTICAL structures—walls, fences, screens, gateways, arbors, and garden screens buildings—and horizontal structures— drives, paths, patios, and steps—sensitively, as certain shapes and materials relate to one another while others do not. For a successful garden screens design you should use the vertical and horizontal together in a pleasing and harmonious way, to create a unified whole. Try to achieve a balance between both planes: for example an arch will complement a straight pathway, and so will a low wall built around a patio. |
