Wall Art
 

That is great suggestion.
The maintenance with plants will be out of control. Unless, you have a gardner who will keep it small & maintained.

Good Luck!

The way vines are able to stay up is by digging little tendrils into your fence or walk or tree ect. Do you really want that?
Also this bushy covering provides an area for pests to thrive. I would pull them out immediately

Like the idea of wall decorations, or if you want to spend the money have someone paint a scene and make sure it is treated so when you power wash it stays. Of course of you are talented paint it yourself.

Yeppp, you'll have bugs and geckos to eat them, then comes snakes to eat the geckos.

And I'm sure your neighbors don't want that scenario.

Florida is known for tumultuous growth of just about anything. There is a saying going around to be careful of what you leave for trash at the curb, it may take root.

I have seen some astonishing growth in a very short time on Hibiscus plants, Mandeville, Butterfly Bushes. If you plant it today, stand ready to trim it in a VERY short time or it will look like a jungle.

Why do you care what other people think about how you manage your property???

We have metal art on our wall and think that it looks great - and it doesn't grow nor attract critters.

Only the neighbors on the other side of the fence should care. Vines will grow under the fence as well plus through any small opening in the fence. If the fence is damaged, you will be responsible for replacement. Keep your vines off the fence or wall. If you want vines, plant them against your house. In two or three years, you will be pulling them down.

I love the look of vines that intermingle and I personally wouldn't worry about power washing the wall, but you do have to keep it trimmed and maintained. Good luck with your decision!

You have a right to cut/trim what comes over the wall if you don't like it. You do not have the right to kill the plant. If it's that much of a nuisance, go over and talk to your neighbor about the issue. It's called getting along and being respectful of others.

Power wash your walls when you have your house power washed and trim them as they attempt to grow over the wall if that's your concern.

That seems like a good compromise. Plus you could then power-wash the wall, keeping the algae away.

I would keep them trimmed or it will start to look like a jungle.

We had a villa tour in our community to get ideas on what to do with our courtyard. It was good. One woman had a rainforest, One had a desert theme with beautiful cacti. One man has a gorgeous botanical garden that he could rent for tea parties. I wish there was a picture book with ideas. PS we also share cuttings.
