has anyone seen a fence like this?

We have an ugly hill behind our side yard AND visible from the street. The hill is owned by ODOT and I am sick of looking at it. Tried planting hemlocks and they are DEAD...(I think there used to be a structure on this property and pieces/parts got buried so NOTHING grows (I keep finding concrete, etc.)....So the image below would work for us. Fresh top soil behind the blocks would help the new plants) But I cannot find anyone who makes this fence or who sells this type of retaining wall. Has anyone seen anything like this? (I live in Cleveland Ohio area)

Thank you , everyone, for you suggestions and for your time looking for this fence for me. Seems like this fence style is MORE Available in the western US...strange....I contacted the two largest fence companies in Cleveland Ohio area....neither have this fence in their catalog but they can make it. Today I down loaded every fence contractor in my area. I will contact each of them. Seems like there is a shortage of cedar too.

Both are very simple and I see no reason why you are having issues finding either .Check out cedar fencing on the net and also low stone borders for flower beds

I've seen that sort of fence before. Wasn't sure of the name, but I found a few hits using 'vertical cedar fence copper post caps". "Full panel vertical cedar fence" pulled up more. "Modified Panel" and "Deco Top" are relevant terms to the fence you are looking for.

This handy site came up https://nprfence.com/fences/wood/

Once in a while you get a "sport" or mutation. That's how some new varieties are discovered. You can bag the flower to collect the seeds when it finishes blooming and see what happens to the offspring. If other blossoms on the same vine are normal, it's unlikely that a gene will be passed down. You can mark that vine (use a twist tie or piece of yarn) to see if more of these flowers occur.

If she wants a relatively organic option, spinosad is listed as killing thrips. She should spray every surface of the plants, including flowers/buds, the undersides of leaves, etc. Repeat 3 days later to kill the thrips that were eggs for the first spray or managed to hide. I would repeat again a few days later. Spinosad is a bit more broad-spectrum than most biologicals, so she should do it in the evening after the bees are finished.

This one is bigger, I think, but very, very similar. I googled "Draped Chain Chandelier" to find it. https://www.wayfair.ca/lighting/pdp/rebekah-6-light-bowl-foyer-pendant-lfmf1735.html

Any fence company can build this for you- this is not a panel purchased at a big box store. Call a couple fence companies in your area and show them the photos.

Be aware that a wood fence will have a relatively short life in your climate due to snow. Keeping the bottom line 18 inches off the ground will extend its life.

How about putting some sculptures there?

For the wall, not an exact match but look at Anchor Wall dot com, they have several styles that would function well and (in my opinion) look nice.

We have a fence just like that and even have the same block retaining wall. It’s super common here in Vancouver to have cedar fences.

I found a company called SIGNATURE Development ...their product used to be carried by Home Depot ....and now it is ONLY available in California and Oregon. My timing for this project idea is AWFUL!

We have a fence like this - on the opposite side we had them add extra board on top of each seam so when the wood shrinks you won’t see gaps. It was built on site and used treated wood rather than cedar. The guy told us cedar now is mostly new growth and not what it used be - time will tell I guess. Any fence company can do that style.

Janet, adding an extra board to cover gaps is called: board and batten.

Kathleen you might want to ask the fence makers why it isn’t common in your area. Will it not weather well? Is it better to choose a different product?

Cedar fences are very common around here in fact I have one myself. You could expect it to last pretty well for about 15 years and then you will either start replacing it post by post and section by section or have to consider a new one. My neighbor was able to get some brown square metal parts for the bottom of her posts. They go into the ground and the post go into them. Not sure what they are called but this is to extend the life of the posts, which eventually rot out below grade.
