Redbricked utility station in section of the garden. 10-12 ft tall. The developers planted an array of bushes, trees bamboo in front . There was no real thought or look they were aiming for. Just planted w/e.
While it's better than looking at the brick the plants weren't particularly good looking, low maintenance or space efficient. Theyve eaten a chunk of space over the years. Landscaper quoted me 3k just to trim everything back. Sod that. Money's better spent adding stuff.
Been trimming them back over the last week. Now debating taking roots n all and either planting something more suitable to hide it. Or option 2 is dressing it up in some way. painting it, panelling it or something to make it easier in the eye.
I need some ideas or suggestions please. Either dressing it or what tall thin greenery I could plant to cover it.

. The Clematis is a good looking climber, but mine did die back to almost the root and regrew this year. But would just mean if you were using it to cover something then over the winter months it wouldn't have much coverage.
