However we'll be having a pretty modern facade. Has anyone done this before or see someone that has? I think it's one of those things that will look really great or really terrible lol. I never seen it done....maybe there is a reason for that....anyway..... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ What are your thoughts? Re: Country Style Front Fence With Modern Facade? 2Dec 16, 2011 12:36 pm Go for it. Great to see someone keen to break the mundane verbatim we see as landscapes. Maybe work to create a few foraml hedges around the fence and house to bring the two concepts together. An off the cuff idea mayube to do a rosemary or lavender hedge cut low along the fence and similar somewhere near the house. Or from a point close to or from the fence to the hose in some sort of link? Maybe a short avenue of trees up the drive. If its a short drive, 3 trees either side?
