Pine Board Wood Fence

Solid Wood Fence acts as a solid no see through Privacy Fence by using 1″ thick 12 inch wide rough sawn pine boards.

Fence was given some unique design by increasing the height of every other board to create a castle effect. Reduced fence height when coming to meet a low metal farm gate.

Noisy Neighbors?

Thick Cedars planted closely together create one of the best privacy Hedges!

Neighbors overly interested in your life, visitors and street doings are a pest .. so best blocked their view and get back your privacy!

P.S. This Cedar hedge could use a little trimming, the off season of winter is best time to trim, then you would better see the path with the black wrought iron gate.

Hedge Needed?

Why plant a hedge this year?

Well the fact is that they are cheaper than other options like a wood fence.

Here are 4 good reasons for planting a Hedge.

1. Mark one’s property boundaries, block off areas and/or define spaces.
2. Aid to blocking winds, dust, sun, absorb road or neighbor noise.
3. Hide unattractive features like rubbish bins, ugly buildings, sheds
4. Your privacy from others looking in your windows.

P.S. Photo shows mature 12 foot (4 metre) high Hick Yew trees blocking the view into the windows!

Cedar Hedge with Onion Tulips Garden

A “Wow Garden” in part has to do with contrast between plants and trees.

If you have mature cedar hedge, it creates a great dark green back drop for bright contrasting garden flowers as can be seen to the photo.

Don’t have 5-8 years to wait for cedar trees to grow, then possibly consider a wood fence.
