Landscaping along your fence softens the straight hard lines and helps it blend with the rest of your yard.
If you’ll need to regularly stain or paint your fence, allow yourself extra space to get to it when the time comes. Space your shrubs and plants slightly away from it.
A curving bed of plants rather than a straight line softens the straight lines of the fence.
For great visual appeal, layer the flower beds and plants along your fence. Arrange short plants in the front, medium-sized in the middle, and the tallest ones in the back.
When landscaping along a fence line, vary the heights and colors of your plants for interest.
If you have an attractive fence, you probably don’t want to completely hide it, but accent it. Opt for a small hedge that highlights the fence without obscuring too much of it.
