Give Definition to Your Outdoor Space with Garden Room Walls

Gardens take on an entirely new dimension when borders are defined. Take a landscaped area of your property from an open space to an enclosed one, and you’ve created a secret garden room that’s private, comfortable and perfect for solo relaxation or intimate conversations.

There are many ways to creatively wall-in your garden. You’ll want to first decide on a man-made wall or a natural one. Here are some factors to consider when choosing:

Man-Made Garden Walls

Materials: Stucco, brick, masonry, metal panels, wrought-iron

Why We Love Them: Man-made walls have year-round appeal and are less affected by seasonal conditions. They are relatively low-maintenance, and you can add color with paints, stains or infusions.

Considerations: These walls are usually more expensive for the initial investment and for any repairs needed.

Natural Garden Walls

Materials: River rocks, hedges, trees, wooden posts

Why We Love Them: Living walls continue the organic quality of your garden seamlessly by immersing you in nature. These walls are perfect for those who value sustainability.

Considerations: There’s more upkeep involved with living walls. They are very susceptible to growing seasons.

Tips for Any Enclosure:

• The wall style should complement your property’s existing style and architecture.
• Use height and transparency to adjust your wall to the level of privacy you desire.
• Consider multiple divisions to make a small space seem larger.
