Besides landscapes in the garden, backyard, front and side yard, there’s also one more zone to think about, and this is a fence. Most of us have fences, decorative or secure ones, and this line along the fence can be made not only part of the landscape but even the only blooming part of the garden if you want to. How to style this border, which plants to choose, we’ll tell you below.
How To Choose Plants For The Fence Line?
If you want a low-maintenance feature, consider the plants that are natural for the area and won’t require much care. You can choose from trees, shrubs, greenery and flowers or even vines or go for several layers of plants for a real garden look. Prefer drought-tolerant plants, if the climate is hot, consider the amount of sun in this space, too.
With fence lines, you can also solve some problems in the garden. In case this is a fence close to the house, you may want to paint it white, add thin and breezy plants and lights, this way your view from the window won’t be claustophobic. If you want to hide the fence, the best idea is to cover it with vines or trees, which will create an illusion of endless garden. Wanna add color? Choose bright flowers of various kinds, especially those that attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
