What to use to separate the garden?

Good day everyone,
I would like to once again ask for your knowledge and ideas
You are basically my garden planners

We have a green area of about 1200-1300 sqm.
I would like to beautify it a bit soon.
That means I want to separate part of it as a utility garden (fruit trees, fruit bushes, and a small vegetable garden, and a compost heap, possibly some wooden poles need to remain standing for a while) and the other part for living and playing for the children and us.
I estimate the utility garden section to be about 400 sqm.

Now I have been thinking for a while about HOW to separate the garden and am not quite satisfied with any of my solutions.



The solution should be 17.80 m (basically the orange line):

- Wooden fence or metal fence? (Wooden fence needs to be painted)
- Hedge (but it needs to be trimmed and we have enough hedges)
- Use fruit bushes (raspberry/red currant/blueberry) as a divider? Would that look good?
- An earthen mound? But that would probably require a lot of work again (we have a lot of oak leaves!)
- Something like "raised beds" – but those would also need to be planted. Then I wouldn’t need a bed in the utility garden anymore
- Or simply no visible separation at all? But since we want to have a dog someday, I find it somehow nicer and more beautiful. Also, to make it look visually nicer.

Hmm. I am so unsure. Maybe you have an opinion on this.
It shouldn’t cause a lot of extra work.

Thanks for pondering

I once saw a gravel strip at acquaintances' place, similar problem, border to a part of the property that is to be built on much later. Some people might like it, some might find it ugly. Depending on the garden, however, it fits well and requires little effort.

Thank you for your tip. I just think that visually it really doesn’t fit at all, it’s more of a very natural garden and gravel... hmm... But thanks anyway. Maybe it will lead to another idea. Mery

Green double rod panel fence. I would personally rather enclose the property and leave this open. Why shouldn't one be able to see/enter the utility garden.

Picket fences like the farmhouse gardens used to have or raised beds. Picket fences can look a bit shabby over the years or you use wood that weathers to grey. Who knows what will be in 15 or 20 years Raised beds, clear separation and at the same time comfortable working height

Green double upright bar fence. Personally, I would rather enclose the property and leave this area open. Why shouldn't the kitchen garden be visible/accessible.

OK. That would be an idea. Thank you very much. Yes, yes. The kitchen garden should and must definitely be visible. For me, it was once about the visual separation and on the other hand about the fact that if there is a dog, it doesn't necessarily have to run around there.
