lj12 Thanks for your reply. I ended up doing a fence that looks a lot like the picture. However, I used redwood.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
2. A Contemporary HomeThe strong geometric lines of contemporary architecture call for a foliage-focused planting, and this narrow roadside border delivers. Key design features:Restraint in color and plant varietyLinear planting that echoes the horizontal lines of the home's siding and fenceEmphasis on foliage over flowersColor note:Muted earth tonesPlant selection:Grasses and succulents are eminently suitable for contemporary landscape design, as they rely upon their strong form rather than colorful blooms.These plants require minimal water and maintenance.The grasses add a bright note to the dark stained fence panels.
