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.
