Nick 1 Report post Posted May 3, 2014 When friends know you are a gardener, they often ask for advice that sometimes you can't answer as fully as you'd like. I was asked by this homeowner what could work for a screen, not a line of evergreens or a dense one, along the side of their home. This is a tough situation to work with and I need some help/ideas. (above) This is the main view (from a screened porch/out a door) where the screen is desired. It is facing south, but very shady due to all of the trees. It also has a very narrow, steep slope to work with. Below are photos of the slope. The property line is about the bottom of the slope. Again the screen doesn't have to be a dense one, just something(s) to break up the view. Any thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steven Nikkila 32 Report post Posted May 5, 2014 That appears to be a difficult slope/site to plant anything of any size, so perhaps something like this sculpture with a vine or vines growing on it. Or you could suggest something like this, perhaps with a mirror instead of a window or stained glass like look. I wouldn't do an arbor because it invites people to look through it drawing attention to what you want to distract people from looking at directly.
