What Houzz contributors are saying:
Using trees is an excellent way to create frames, but you can create literal frames in your garden with structures. This beautiful stone wall has included two cutout windows that frame views and the garden in both directions for visitors on either side.

Very cool - if not for the manicured lawn, this wall could be something stumbled upon while hiking through old woods or abandoned properties. Nice!

Not that these are but well placed windows in a stone wall are a good idea, especially to tease the on-looker to what might be on the other side.
