Ha! I guess nobody has fences...

 

I literally have no fences. But if I did I think I'd put a sidewalk around the perimeter. I used to have bushes hugging the house and last year got tired of the upkeep, ripped em all out and had a sidewalk put in that surrounds the entire building. Makes for a nice clean grass line and mowing is super easy. If you're into the upkeep some regularly trimmed shrubs can look awesome tho.

Example pic, not mine.

 

Here's what I've been working on. Mostly perennials- Rose of Sharon, Knockout Rose, Clematis, Lupine, Hydrangea, and a variety of bulbs plus some annuals -petunias and geraniums all planted this spring.

I was thinking of doing something very similar, but the cost has the wife a little worked up... several hundred feet of landscaping isn't going to be cheap. Looks good.

 

This is what I did. It was a lot of work but worth it!

 

@lobitz68 Thanks. It wasn't cheap but most everything I got is a perennial so I won't have to buy more plants for that area next year.

 

We have bougainvillea growing along the fence for privacy and have started a privet hedge. Additionally I have about 16 tiny star jasmine plants just getting started and some rose bushes. Here's what mine looks like.

That looks really nice.

Thanks. We're still enjoying it a few years later!

Pod roślinami mam niskie kwiatki, rośliny zadarniające. Zmieśliłam jeszcze jeżówki. Drugi płot to głównie róże, hortensje, świdośliwa, wiśnia royal burgundy, wiśnia kanzan, perukowiec bordowy, judaszowiec merlot, miskant memory. Trzeci płot to szpaler malin Można też wziąć pod uwagę borówkę amerykańska Sadzonki borówki amerykańskiej, sprawdź cenę krzewu borówki . Może coś wybierzesz z tych roślin do siebie.
