“Good Fences Make Good Neighbors” OCTOBER 2014
Wrought iron fencing comes in many colors and shapes and is very
durable. Being able to see through the fencing is another advantage. Wrought iron can be installed in a variety of ways and with a variety of pat- terns. For instance, it could be installed diagonally or have a patterned shape that runs in a pattern in your wall. Wrought iron is not all black. It comes in several colors. There is little maintenance with good wrought iron (a powder coat can be used to make it even more durable) and it can be quite beautiful. Plexi-glass railings are also used, but we do not
recommend them. When first installed they are nice and clear and look wonderful. But with weathering they can get a dirty look and hard water ruins the clarity as well.
Seat walls are fun. They can be used for sitting
around a fire-pit or around a pool or spa. They can also be used as planters and dividers to add color and vari- ety for the eye. It is also possible to combine both of the above in a wall. Good fences may or may not make good neigh-
bors, but they certainly make a more well-designed landscape. Walls can be used to divide various portions of your yard. For example, you may want your garden to be set apart or you may want to separate a play area or structure from the rest of the yard. Walls also create a visual break for the eyes and add to the overall con- tours of the space to be designed with comfort as well as beauty in mind. Safety laws and regulations are im- portant. An overall plan for your landscape will maxi-
