Hiya
i posted on here a couple of weeks ago about what colour to paint my front picket fence, I had some amazing replies thank you, and the general consensus was to bo black which I am doing! Once I have finished the front, I want to paint my back fence aswell. I'm not sure what colour to go for, I have a lot of pastel plants, pots, decorations etc so I want a colour that will really make them pop. Any help would be great!

need help with a colour scheme for my back garden (not plants)
Comments (1)What type of garden are you looking for? Contemporary or vintage, courtyard!! Pictures to start with then we can build on that. all depends on what look and feel you want....See MoreBack Fence Ideas
Comments (7)Virburnum tinus - evergreen shrub with white flowers in winter/spring There is a great Story on Houzz by Patricia Tyrrell called something like 10 trees suitable for a small garden which may help. It’s just that a lot of trees grow enormous with time and can engulf a garden. I’ve noticed one of your neighbours has already put one in. There aren’t many evergreen trees unless you go down the conifer route which can be a minefield! There are many shrubs that grow to 8-10 feet which may suit your garden. The RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) have a great website where you can search for Tall Evergreen Shubs, for example. They also tell you how easy, or not, they are to grow. I see a lot of pleached trees on Houzz etc, but I’ve read they do need shaping and training to keep them in check, so do need maintenance, Heres a few evergreen shrubs that may fit the bill. Ceanothus - evergreen with blue flowers in May Mahonia - evergreen with fragrant yellow flowers in spring Mallow - evergreenish with pink flowers in summer...See MoreGarden Privacy for back to back gardens
Comments (4)That is an Olive tree (Olea europea) It would be a good choice if you want year round privacy as it is evergreen. If you want more interest if you are in a warm part of the uk you might consider a Mimosa (Acacia dealbata) which has yellow flowers in late winter, but can get quite large. A Photinia is another option which is also evergreen, but has the added bonus of white flowers and the young leaves are a bronzy colour....See MoreGarden Fence post dilemma
Comments (7)We also have Silver Copse for our fence and painted the posts in the same colour. Johnstones did a purpose made mix for me in a Matt finish. See pic below...See MoreBecky
