Help! Need backyard wall color suggestions!

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

Hi All!

We recently purchased a home and the backyard cinderblock walls drive me crazy! I feel like they look like prison walls. We have gotten quotes that are reasonable to get them all painted. Our house is an olive green color and the trim is a cream color. I don't want to pick a color that will make the walls stand out more, i.e. too dark or too light.


Also, we live in Arizona, so it's hard to grow a ton of plants to cover them due to the heat, along with the fact that the last owners added a TON of rocks all over so we don't even know what dirt is under them to try to grow stuff..


A few notes on the photos:

1) these are from the zillow listing, all the kid stuff is gone so it's much less cluttered - so the walls stand out even more

2) the back of the house was painted before we moved in, so the mix matched green color has been fixed and it's the darker color now. (see the front of the house photo or the back patio photo for a better look at the house color)


Also, as much as we would love to stucco the walls along with the paint, that's not in our budget currently. So only paint!


Ideas?!
