we tried to hide the posts of the fencing using palm trees, but years later they started growing high, we then researched and realize that the palm trees we used could grow 50 feet or more, which will hit the electrical wires above the fence, so we had to remove the palm trees 🙁 which was the hard part coz they were all grown up and rooted in place
Vines are a FABULOUS way to hide the chain-link fences. Not sure where you live, but greenhouses have LOTS of different vines. Clematis, Black-Eyed Susans, Hops grow REALLY fast, Scarlet Runner Beans (or any kind of bean or pea), Sweet Peas (there is a perennial one now called "Everlasting Pea", but it might be too hot where you are for that). Morning Glory, Honeysuckle, Nasturtiums … just to name a few. Your local greenhouse would be able to tell you what to put in there. 🙂
Just use boxwood shrubs. You can shave it or prune it as small as you want.
Please do not annoy your neighbors with your careless overgrowth because soon they will stop talking to you.
I need zone 11 shrubs with very little flower growth; have enough trash pick already; very little from my side because I stay on it and a ton from my neighbors' sidefence overgrowth (there are days I stay out for three hours or more cleaning up their trash). Tired and annoyed.
Hey Nicholas, the fence isn't ugly at all. it's just a fence, it's not sposed to be beautiful that's all. Uggghhh, it's so pathetic to sell your ideas and products by labelling something so basic as being ugly!
Cypress, purple honey suckle, boxwood pyrcantha, juniper blue arrow, gelsinium semperviruns
