A concrete wall is somewhat simple and doesn’t always appear attractive in your own landscaping. If you are tired of looking at the surface, there are several things you can do to improve or hide the wall, so it isn’t as much of an eyesore. Everything from wall hangings to plants are options to consider.
Attach a trellis to the wall. Attach it to the wall with masonry screws. Plant climbing vines like an ivy or climbing roses along the foundation of this trellises. If placing over 1 trellis on a massive wall, space them out each 3 or or 4 feet.
Plant tall shrubbery along the wall like a holly bush. Prune the shrubs only to keep an overall form and allow them to develop large. Space shrubs so the limbs will likely come near meeting at full size. Plant them closer together if you want to eventually form a solid hedge in front of the wall.
Space dwarf trees that won’t grow above the wall, so the limbs and leaves cover a great portion of the cover of the wall. Plant other vegetation reduced to the bottom between the trees, like low shrubs and shrubs, to be able to split the lower portions of the wall.
Add massive stones or other features like bird houses and bird baths to the landscaping across the wall to grab your eye away from the wall.
Hang decorative items along the wall in between tall vegetation, like wrought iron hangings, bird houses and wreaths, to split the plain surface of the wall, adding interest and texture.
