Garden BoundariesGarden Hedges - Garden Walls - Garden Fencing and Gates
Introducing internal boundaries, perhaps in the form of hedges or group of shrubs, can help break up a large garden. A gate is a point of entry to a space enclosed by walls, or an opening in a fence. Gates may prevent or control entry or exit, or they may be merely decorative. 
 Garden BoundariesGarden Hedges - Garden Walls - Garden Fencing and GatesGarden Hedges - The hedges vary their colours throughout the seasons dramatically. The hedges, being strong features in a garden, are often used to divide sections of the larger garden. However, since they use the moisture and nutrient from the garden soil to grow as well as other plants, they may not necessarily be a good choice and could bring a negative influence or effect to the other plants. Garden Walls - Besides the boundaries that are made up of plants like the hedges, walls made up of various materials can be built between regions. There are broadly three types of walling material: stone, either random or coursed, brick, and concrete in its various forms. It is good to determine what colour, size, and texture will be most appropriate for the garden before actually building the wall. Garden Trellis and Fencing - According to many designers, fencing can offer an alternative solution if the walls are too solid for the region of the garden. There are several numbers of fence types that can be used for a garden: animal-proof fence for country situations, peep-proof fences for the suburbs, and urban fences that provide shelter from the winds in exposed roof-top gardens and create internal barriers.

Garden Boundaries - The character and look of the landscape or garden can
be greatly influenced by the boundary limits. Clever planting can be used to
modify the boundary line or a line between an area of rough grass, meadow and
lawn, depending on the size of the plot.
