I have been researching the same - how to disguise the wall. It will be a fun project. As of now, I'm leaning toward the Sky Pencil Holly. It only grows 6-8' tall and 2-3' wide (our back strip of yard between the lanai and wall is not very wide). There are similar taller columinar varieties, but in the long run, I don't want the maintenance. I plan to plant them a few feet apart and then plant something flowery in between each (in a row in front of..) that attracts hummingbirds or butterflies. Then, I will make a slight wavy border with some decorative edging along the back length of our back wall and fill it with rock or tire mulch. Also, in one corner I will have the edging come out a bit further to include a bird bath. I will check with the arch approvals. If not approved, I'll just use large planters, versus planning in the ground (not preferred, but..)
