Should I paint this garden wall or put up a wooden fence
Hi all, we have moved into a new property where after taking down the overgrown plants we have discovered a concrete dividing wall. It seems to have some sort of character but I really don’t know what to do with it. Should I paint it and make it look pretty? Or should I forget about it and erect a modern Wooden fence? I can’t seem to find any ideas or pictures out there to help me decide! What do you think?

Should I paint my garden wall?
Comments (36)Looks nice. You can buy pots from Wilkos at a reasonable price, or on eBay. Plastic is the cheapest option but just make sure they are big and have holes in the bottom. Fill them with compost and add some shrubs, something like bamboo, Japanese maples or Fatsia japonica. Really most shrubs do well if the pot is big enough. Keep it well watered, daily if it is hot and sunny. For a bit of colour pot up some roses too. It will make a huge difference....See MoreWhat colour should i paint my walls?
Comments (20)This look would be rather timeless and easy to re-use when wanting to change styles and colour schemes. Keeping a rather neutral palette, which is what you've gone for is a good idea for the kitchen as to not age so quickly. With the use of colourful accessories and well chosen lighting I think this space could look fab. If you hadn't already chosen your units and had them fitted, I'd have recommended a slightly darker shade to provide some contrast, and a slightly lighter island colour. However, I wouldn't recommend darker walls, purely as your space although being a good size and having some natural light. It's not flooded with it, so wouldn't want to makes the space darker than necessary. Hope this helps! Let me know. :) - Kerry @KerryBryanInteriors...See MoreWhat colour should I paint this fence?
Comments (9)thanks for your comments, I was worried about continuing the cream theme incase it doesn’t match well..the fence up is a cream with a yellow tinge to it so not the easiest to match. I was thinking about a dark brown colour like Cuprinol seasoned oak? Then I’m not sure what colour for the planters. does a darker fence make your garden look bigger or smaller? thanks, Louise...See MoreWhat should we put along this fence?
Comments (12)Hello folks. Thank you for your replies. Its private land. We live on an Estate. We do have lots of big trees around us and wouldn't want to block the beautiful view. We have 2 little apple trees that have such lovely blossom at the moment. We nearly went with Leylandil to hedge all the way round but glad we didn't due to its reputation and problems we would probably get. What we had in mind was something that would grow in and on the fence but no higher and to block the dogs (we have 2 huge dogs) view. Like a screen. We wanted something that smells nice as we are going to try and make this area into a relaxing dining area eventually so sweet smells would be lovely of an evening. The fenced off part is our garden which is just under an acre but very big, boring and a huge task to landscape. We have tried planting some flowers Lupins, Roses, a Magnolia Tree etc but the dogs have crushed some of the Lupins. You might just see them in the picture I attached. We are going to stop with the plants and go for the fence climbers. Eventually all the way round. I put some pics up of what we have to deal with landscaping wise. Alot of work to do. Its only windy in Autumn and Winter. We have bought some Jasmins and Clematis for some of the fence. Love the yellow ones. You live somewhere really beautiful but it does look windy there. Probably alot more windy than here by the looks of it. I have never seen those before. I will most definitely try out a few along the fence somewhere. Thank you. Lots of things keep changing while trying to do this garden and its been quite expensive trying it out but fun and we will carry on. I think what we're looking for is a hardy beautiful fragrant fast fence climber that will block the fence part but not above it that can handle some wind and lots of sun all day 😁...See More

Breezeblocks are porous, which means they can absorb moisture. Painting them helps create a barrier that prevents water from seeping into the blocks. This can help protect the wall from mold, mildew, and other moisture-related issues also easier to clean and this type of fence are mid Century style which popular in mediteranian house like Santorini and normally painted white or the same accent with the house it suppose to make the plant more vibrant color
And reflective nature in white paint Will make the garden brighter in cloudy days you can opt for colorless mold resisstant sealing
