So, you have a fence. Why do you need to add plants?
Maybe it’s ugly and you want to hide it. Or it’s too open and you want more privacy. It’s a cool architectural element and you want to highlight it. You want a natural lawn-free buffer so your mower doesn’t damage the fence. You’re a plant fanatic and will add them anywhere that isn’t moving.
So - what can you plant near a fence?

Landscape design trends change.
So your yard is so huge an airplane could safely land. You could host a pro football game. People mistake it for a sod farm.
Plant the wrong tree too close to your house, and you could be living a scene from a Godzilla movie: your foundation cracked, your house heaving, roots on a rampage!
Is it OK to plant trees near a house? What kind of trees won’t damage your foundation?
Everybody thinks about flowers out front when it’s summer, but when it comes to attracting attention to your commercial property, think bigger.
