Garden Boundaries: Using Walls, Fencework And Hedges To Define Your Garden

The secret to creating an outdoor living space that offers privacy and security is to use clever landscaping and subtle planting. The two sections of this book explore different aspects of garden boundaries.

Part One looks at hard-landscaping: the construction and finishing techniques that give the garden sharp-edged definition and form, including traditional fencing and trelliswork, wire and railings, walls, gateways and entrances.

Part Two focuses on soft-landscaping options. The ideas included range from wall shrubs, trained climbers and hanging baskets to using trees and shrubs for wind protection, planting narrow screens of bamboo, and creating architecture from clipped hedging.
