I need some ideas
+6
I need some ideas of what to do with this area next to the pool. Also along the fence line. Out dogs like to bark and scratch with the neighbor dog on this fence line. We were thinking of pavers to put some patio furniture on but I don't know what to do on the fence line. Thanks!
Hang some baskets/planters. Fill with herbs, flowering plants, lavender to discourage mosquitos, mint for juleps.
If theyre hanging the dogs (unless they’re big) won’t get them but they’ll be attractive. Do a color or colors.
Drill a hole in a couple of corner of colorful tiles and hang them. Or decorate yourself.
Although hanging them the planters, I’d be tempted to secure the bottom a bit so they don’t bounce too much from the dogs jumping. Do they make exterior Velcro?
Hi Karen, I would attach a 3 or 4 foot high fence with gate to enclose the area behind the tall fence. That would hide all that stuff. Some nice colorful hanging baskets would look nice along your fence, maybe with some colored spot lights for evening! If your dogs like to run the fence, leave it clear so they can get their exercise!
What ever you decide, Have fun!
Maybee a row of boxwood shrubs and ornamental grasses
Larger stepping stones. Drill 1” holes in that fence (Like dotted) and place those colored pieces of glass in the holes to shower your yard with a rainbow of color
I would plant a row of evergreens, boxwood, sky pencils, shrubs or an ornamental grass such as adagio miscanthus to create a second faux fence along the fence line. Your dogs could still get to the wooden fence to play with the neighbors dog. In the late winter, January or February, you would need to cut the miscanthus grass just above the ground around 6-12 inches to promote new growth. Evergreens only need to be shaped when needed.
You need something that grows fast and looks good all year long like an evergreen or about four spaces out. Fir trees, cedar trees, spruce, redtips, boxwoods, holly, something to make the dogs stop scratching so much and keep the neighbors at bay. The noise will be cut down a lot. Everyone will benifit , neighbors included. lol. You have a lot of space to work with but I'd definitely focus on that to preserve your fence from the dogs scratching , noise will be no problem in either side, added privacy personally. Good luck, keep us posted!
Rototill up the existing yard and plant a pollinator garden. Scatter wildflower pollinator seeds, water it, and you'll enjoy the myriads of birds, bees, and butterflies that come to feed off the flowers. Plus, you'll have a beautiful flower bed!
