However, fencing can also be used to create divisions in a yard. In this context, think of fences as serving a function similar to that of the walls inside a house, dividing one room from another. Having separate outdoor living spaces allows you to create mini-landscape designs, as has been done in the yard shown in this landscaping photo. In a large yard, such divisions can serve to break up a vast expanse into smaller, more interesting groups of plantings, as well.
In the next fence picture, you'll see a very different example of the plant world working together with fencing in a landscape design....
