We have removed 3 large cherry trees on our side of the fence to the right hand side of the driveway. At the moment the grass area inside the front fence is approx 6 metres. (measured from the fence to the driveway by the garage) The long term plan is to widen that part of the driveway by 2 metres. This will leave a remaining 4 metres for grass & 2 - 3 large trees. For the meantime we have put down a roll-out lawn and we plan to plant trees along the fence line within the 4 meters. Hoping to be able to purchase some well established trees for instant privacy. (The Rhodo will go once there's more privacy from the new trees - whether we plant something else along the angled side fence??? Ideas here also please) The trees need to be able to handle salt spray and a lot of wind (we live in South Taranaki). We don't want something that has flowers that cause allergies. Nothing that drops messy berries like the cherry trees that used to be here! Thinking something similar shape to the tree in the last picture. Suggestions welcome :)

I'll say it straight out -- I personally don't think the style of fence matches the style of house . But not painting it makes it even more obvious . Maybe you need a new friend haha . Me -- I'd render the wall , and paint in an English Cream , AND do the 3 gables and the boards above the garage door and any other trim in the English Cream too , to tie it all in . IF the bricks were still available , I would have gone down that route , with the rendered fence pillars ( and gables and trim ) in an English Cream , or possibly the pillars in the same white as the house bits , but generally I'd try and go a bit closer to the brick colour than 'just' a white . It's workable , and almost anything would be better than leaving the blocks as they are IMO .
