Landscaping Designs With Fences
A fence is a landscaping element that helps
to define the boundary line of any landscaping area inside your garden. if you are looking for putting a fence as a
security measure, then you will have to think twice. In most cases instead of a fence a strong compound wall built with stones or bricks is a good option.
Because of their strong nature a compound wall built with stones can provide greater amount of security.

However a fence can be very easily used to define internal garden
areas. A fence build with wooden members with a small wicket gate with spring loaded shutter can serve a very
good purpose in a small garden. Where to use such a fence is a complete choice of the designer. However as a
general rule a fence can be used where there is a change in the material.
Let's consider an example.
You have a hard paved parking area in the front yard of the house that flows towards the side of the house
building. And then a beautiful lawn covers the ground up to the backyard. In such case the point where the hard paved parking ends and the lawn starts, you can have a short
height wooden fence with small gate with spring action.
This denotes that human entry is possible in the garden. This is very useful if you have a professional appointed to take care of the lawn.
He can enter the lawn without
disturbing the privacy of your home interiors.
If the fence looks too rough as against the soft landscaping elements, you can plant low height flowering plants at the bottom and along the side of the fence on both sides, to create a
visual balance. Thus landscaping designs with fences is possible with
little creativity. Designing a landscaping fence need not be difficult
at all. Several good quality books are available for this purpose, that teach
you step by step how you can easily construct you own landscaping fence
easily and without spending a fortune.
