My own natural looking fence design.

@The Denying Dutchman
I saw very beautiful flower gardens in Copenhagen.
I saw private houses only from the side of the streets. Of course, it's always interesting to see what's inside!
I somehow suspect that your garden is different from other gardens by its originality. I love! Fence, door, stones. It reminds Scandinavian legends!

How about bamboos?

Certain species are no invasive and grow up to manageable height.

I am planning to pot one for decorative purpose, still they can be used as natural fence.

Thanks Larisa!

We have bamboo in quite a large zinc bowl, but it doesn't grow very fast. An uncle of mine used to have a bamboo fence as part of a Japanese styled garden. It looked very nice.I liked heather more though, because ivy (and other plants can easily stick to it to aid in the upwards growth.

not the lucky bamboo, I am referring to real bamboo.

its funny lucky bamboo are type of lily, bamboo is a type of grass

 

[The Denying Dutchman]

Not sure if this is lucky bamboo or not.

 

[Rajesh Sethi]

sorry, my mistake...its bamboo, but you said in zinc bowl- it looks like tub

Is it red stem bamboo, its beautiful .

 

[The Denying Dutchman]

Sorry, I'm Dutch. The dictionary came up with bowl as I didn't know the English word for what we call a small tub in Dutch.

My wife planted it years ago and forgot which kind of bamboo it is.

Last year I dediced to cut down two large birch trees, because we didn't get much sun light in the garden anymore and the millions of seeds floating through the air were driving me nuts!

Of course it's too bad to have to cut two nice trees, so I wanted something special back. Not just a wooden fence or something, no I wanted something where nature can grow as it pleases. (within certain limits of course)

I made a video of the whole project so I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making my natural looking fence.

Wow It looks so perfect..loved your idea <3.Now I can experiment something like this. It's so sweet of you to share this here.

 

[The Denying Dutchman]

Thank you very much Karen, have fun creating your own fence.

wow! what a stylish looking garden

 

[Esther Knapicius]

Lots of work. wow. looks good

 

[The Denying Dutchman]

Thank you, unfortunately I need a shed (Yes, I should have thought of that before.) so half of the fence will be gone this spring. Making a wooden shed fit in the natural looking theme will be quite a challenge, but I've got plenty of materials left so that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

I needed to change something anyway, heavy rain was no problem, (we had lots and lots of rain last summer) but when I emptied our above ground pool I flooded the back of our garden and the back of the neighbours garden and the firebreak behind the garden! Quite a nice little river...

Dutchman, I have always admired yards that are beautiful because the owner wasn't afraid of a little sweat and some blisters. The picture of your van full of stones epitomizes that. I'm sure you are going to enjoy this yard for years to come.

 

[bacsidongy]

haha, i like, thanks you

I was watching a show last night where this guy made a railing around a staircase all out of branches from his property. He stripped the bark off (a tedious job). He left the wood natural, but put a protective finish over it. It was gorgeous. It was a bit of outdoors indoors!
