Remove the hose and understand
Another strategy that recommends Morris is to use greenery in your yard for your advantage (or if necessary, do a little more planting) and tuck your hose behind the bushes to hide it.
Jordan Cloe, Richardson & Associates Associate Principal in Landscape Architecture, agrees with this strategy, given that cherry laurel, dwarf arberwite cultivation and other evergreen shrubs are all excellent plants for jobs.
“They actually help in attachment to the rest of the landscaping,” they say.
Morris also noted that buying a small screen and using a fence in your hose when not in use is another viable option. The chlo is also meant to use a wooden screening fence, which he matches by putting a wooden fence in a yard, for a look as possible. And a wooden fence is not useful just to tuck the hoses.
“Overseized boxes in the attachment and/or recycling compartment, or utility meter can help,” Cloo says.
