The back our of fence is in really good shape and I totally want to keep it that way. My plan is to tackle a small section of fence line at a time with a mixture of freestanding privacy screens, wood planters and large flowering shrubs. I love the idea of building large wood planters connected to a modern trellis for vines.

I also love the idea of growing tress, espalier style which means to train a tree to grow flat. Which would be an excellent source of additional privacy and such a lovely addition in to our backyard.
A more affordable option for our backyard fence line is to build modern trellises. I'm so in love with the ones below!! That look so elegant and honestly pretty simple to build, I think the most difficult part of the project would be digging holes for the post (unless we rented a post hold digger)

For the flower portions of our fence line, I'd love to add mixture of various flowers and flowering shrubs.
We're going to start tackling small sections of then fence line in the upcoming months. I can't wait to fill our entire fence line up with pretty.
Do you prefer your fence line free and clear, or filled with flowering shrubs and trellises ?
I am interested to see what you do. I really like the trellis idea. For me I like most of my fence free and clear but for the back part I would love a mix of hostas, ferns and flowers lining it.
ReplyDeleteAfter living with our fence line so bare for a year, I'm so ready to tackle this project and add color and greenery. I love how well our front garden beds are growing in and I'm hoping to use a similar mixture of plants in our backyard. So looking forward to looking out our french doors in the morning and seeing pretty :) This project will be for sure slow and steady.
Deleteflowers are always better!! you go girl! I would love a trellis someday...gotta get that basic landscaping done first though!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this come together. I'm moderately obsessed with the modern trellises. I know whatever you choose will be fabulous.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! Love them all!
ReplyDeleteYou have some lovely ideas in mind. I like driving around getting some landscaping inspiration from the houses in my area. There is one house that I love that has an arbor and fence area that is full of flowers. So dreamy!
ReplyDeleteYes for trellises!!! And I LOVE espalier trees. Ill probably espalier a fruit tree somewhere in the yard at some point. Our entire fence needs to be replaced, but I want to incorporate trellises into the design as well most likely along the side of the house near the front. Im also really really smitten with horizontal fences so that might pop up as well:) Love all the inspiration pics my dear.
