Good idea for a backyard... Brickery and greenery. Don't want grass, but definitely want green. - uslhawk

This modern wood fence was constructed to provide curb appeal to a traditional block wall in front of an ranch style home in the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix, Arizona. Anchored directly onto the cement block this fence was the perfect simple facelift for this home.

The landscape architecture was designed for privacy and an aesthetic that renews through seasonal changes. Nikko Blue Hydrangea, privet hedge and rhododendron can be seen in this image.

Dramatic plant textures, modern hardscaping and sharp angles enhanced this mid-century modern bungalow. Soft plants were chosen to contrast with the sharp angles of the pathways and hard edges of the MCM home, while providing all-season interest. Horizontal privacy screens wrap the front porch and create intimate garden spaces – some visible only from the street and some visible only from inside the home. The front yard is relatively small in size, but full of colorful texture.

Answer to what is the woven material: It's a reed screen product commonly available from Home Depot. It was stapled between two lap-jointed cedar face frames, covered with a cap, and then coated with water-born poly. Post are 14ga 3"x4" steel. Very easy. - kmmckjohnson

For all of the perimeter plantings that this garden had when we first visited the site, it felt exposed with very little privacy. The existing outdoor spaces were virtually nonexistent and hence, went unused. The stairs from the house to the garden were rickety and unattractive doing nothing but transport guests from the inside to the out. As with all of my gardens, the operative goal was Sanctuary in all of it's forms. Creating the sacred from the secular, making the cold and uncomfortable into the warm and inviting. The lot on which this garden was built is one filled with sharp angles that go unnoticed on a conscious level but come into sharp focus when all of the layers are stripped away. My first and most obvious solution was to pour custom circular pads that transport the client and her friends from area to area as if one is jumping from lily pad to lily pad. Small enough in spaces to transport a guest from area to area, large enough to hold a car, the exposed aggregate pads blend in with the multicolored Del Rio pebbles used throughout the garden. A tropical extravaganza, this garden is now the epitome of seclusion and privacy right in the middle of Venice, California.
