Landscape designer Beth Mullins worked with the existing lower fence around this patio and painted it sage green. She then added a one-of-a-kind screen fashioned from reclaimed pieces, every one of them handpicked by her. Note the way she attached some of the reclaimed pieces to the lower fence to tie it all together. The various colors and textures keep the arrangement interesting. The screen adds privacy, but deliberate open spots keep the space from feeling closed in “I had each board put up one by one and made sure to leave open, ‘negative’ space so that it did not get too crowded and had access to views beyond, ”Staggering the boards helped create the openness without it feeling forced.” Pick the boards all at once to keep a consistent palette in terms of colors and textures.

My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
