Hi there, my neighbours red brick wall forms part of my fence. I am compleatly out of ideas on what to do. I built a privacy wall to try and disguise the red brick but the colour I chose (dark grey) possibly makes it look worse/ brighter then it already did (if that’s possible). I could paint it, but only my portion (I live in a townhouse) and you would see the unpainted portions in the neighbouring properties over my other fence. I don’t know what to do because I can’t demolish it, as it’s the neighbours home.
Any suggestions, very welcome…
Cheers,
Jaime
Answer:
Hi Jaime, You could try erecting a latticework trellis and grow climbers on it – eg star jasmine. You could also erect a blue board screen on a frame (painted a better colour). You could plant a row of Spartan junipers too. Good luck, Don
