We have put some serious work into our deck and a bit of time into our yard, so when we sat down on the deck for a cocktail to relax and looked around what first caught our eye’s was the ugly fence along our driveway adjacent to our other neighbor’s house. We could see into her yard, the past owner of our house had left a bunch of garbage and there were two large former fence post footers with bent iron poles sticking out. It wasn’t just ugly it was also a hazard for our kiddo. 

The plan was to get rid of all the garbage that had been stored there, pull out the cement/brick and old footers and then build a trellis and plant something that climbs to create a screen from/for our neighbors and have a planting bed. Our driveway has been challenging to make look not ugly, so this was one step closer to beautifying it.

I didn’t take a proper before picture of the space, but here’s the best one I’ve got. Just imagine it like this, but uglier.
