Back Fence Ideas
Hi, so i have got my garden this far and want to know if anyone has any ideas for my back fence? it looks very bland and basic. The walls on the left hand side of the photo have now all been painted and look a little different.
A few ideas i thought of for the back fence are
- planting evergreen trees every 4m (every other post)
- place some pots with shrubs in front of the fence
-growing a crawling plant like virginia creeper over the whole fence (could be difficult)
- planting some pleached trees to screen off the neighbours.
ANY ideas that you think of will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Dean

Colours - which colour and where!?
Commentaires (0)This is the wall of my living room leading up to the stairs. We would like to paint a wall - hubby thinks wall with painting and chimney which protrudes from the wall. I'm inclined to think the back wall on either side of the chimney (more work). What do you think - we do have high ceilings... Now the second problem is the staircase...we will varnish the stairs the same colour as the parquet BUT...the banisters and upright were painted white at some point partially sanded and now look strange. I want to paint them because there is a lot of crevices and I think it will be too much work to sand it all done. We are leaning towards a darker colour - in the picture it looks black but in fact it's a a dark shade of blue. I was also thinking of F&Bs "Black Blue". I would like any and all suggestions on where to paint and colour ideas. Thanks so much!... Voir plusColours - which colour and where!?
Commentaires (7)Hello, F&B Black Blue is gorgeous for the staircase and I personnally would'paint the whole wall (including above the chimney) in a nice F&b yellow'colour, such as Yellow ground or Dayroom Yellow. I'm sure this combination of colours'will just be stunning. However I would recommend that you test the colours before choosing one (on reasonnably big surface,i.e. 1sq. meter) because once applied on a surface the colour might look very different than what we expected. F&B sells samples for 8€ and I really think this is worth it. I' telling'you this because I experimented it in my house. I was convinced one colour was THE one and still tested another one aswell by precaution and, once applied on the wall, the second one was an evidence. Good luck and pls keep us up to date. Looking forward to see the picture.... Voir plusColours - which & where!?

Virburnum tinus - evergreen shrub with white flowers in winter/spring
There is a great Story on Houzz by Patricia Tyrrell called something like 10 trees suitable for a small garden which may help. It’s just that a lot of trees grow enormous with time and can engulf a garden. I’ve noticed one of your neighbours has already put one in. There aren’t many evergreen trees unless you go down the conifer route which can be a minefield! There are many shrubs that grow to 8-10 feet which may suit your garden. The RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) have a great website where you can search for Tall Evergreen Shubs, for example. They also tell you how easy, or not, they are to grow. I see a lot of pleached trees on Houzz etc, but I’ve read they do need shaping and training to keep them in check, so do need maintenance,
Heres a few evergreen shrubs that may fit the bill.
Ceanothus - evergreen with blue flowers in May
Mahonia - evergreen with fragrant yellow flowers in spring
Mallow - evergreenish with pink flowers in summer
