Boundary construction - hide ugly rear house wall

Plastering is quite expensive compared to greening.

We had 16 m of wall up to 2.5 m high and it was just over 2,000 euros in 2017. We decided against it. Plants, patience, and the problem takes care of itself.

And if you look at it rationally, the free plots around here almost always mean that you already have the next house wall after 6 meters anyway. They just look a bit nicer then

I would definitely prefer the clearly shabby chic of the barn to any neighboring McMansion hell. After all, you don’t only have aesthetes as neighbors.

yep. The brick wall actually has something cool about it. But you can't even sugarcoat the corrugated metal backsides of the other flat buildings with shabby chic

I also quite like climbing roses. They just don't grow so densely. I think that would look cool on the brick wall. But I've already seen that they are occasionally sold on eBay Classifieds at a certain size because of modernization of older houses.

If the big brick wall were uniformly like the top left corner, that would really be great. Do you think something can be done about it? Knock off those isolated plaster parts?

Are the stiffeners on the wall the 3 parts?

if you don’t mind burying a rhizome barrier, then I could recommend a Phyllostachys Vivax (there are different varieties), it reaches your 7m in height and is also green in winter. We had one with green and one with yellow culms, both were very beautiful.

Good question. No idea. I’ll ask... What would that mean?

It’s a bamboo, right? It actually doesn’t look that bad. They’re just a bit bamboo-damaged because the previous tenants in our current garden didn’t install a rhizome barrier. It’s spreading everywhere now... But it’s spreading!
