Go Green And Plant A Screen - NrmaFencing is required in most gardens, not just to keep people out but to keep children and animals in
By: NRMA Insurance SYDNEY - Sept. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- THERE is a balance between beauty and safety. "Fencing is required in most gardens, not just to keep people out but to keep children and animals in," says Matt Cantwell, of Secret Gardens of Sydney. "Many fences we inherit and they are often not that appealing and simply don't go high enough when required to provide privacy. This is where plants come in, so many wonderful shapes, sizes and colours to choose from." Cantwell uses landscaping to soften a fence, improving the outlook from the garden within. However, he says always be mindful of anything children can climb, especially on a pool fence. "Why look at a fence when you can look at a lovely leafy green outlook that may even flower?" he asks. "Climbers are great when space is limited and it is hard to go past Chinese star jasmine as it can tolerate full sun or semi shade." HEDGES "If you have a bit more with then planting a hedge or row of shrubs is a good way to get some additional height as it is not limited or attached to a fence like a climber," he says. "Lilly pillies are popular and tend to want to grow more up than out so not too much space in your garden is lost unnecessarily."
