Good Fences
It’s an overused expression, but I do think good fences make good neighbors, and good fences can be so delightful. There is nothing like a sculptural wall, be it stone, wood or planting to define a space. Here are some favorites that I’ve come across in the last few years in person and in print, and a couple that I have worked on. Designers, when known, are credited in each image title.









I was just thinking the other day how much I love our fence! One of the last things to be added to the drawings ended up having the most visual impact. I love the privacy it gives, but it still feels inviting.
What is the one in the lower left corner made out of? It’s amazing.
Hi Jen –
The Casa Kimball structures are reinforced concrete, clad with a local Coral stone.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the fence/screen element was just concrete. Gorgeous, no?
