Gorgeous, simply gorgeous.
And whomever keeps calling and complaining, they should thank you! Anyone who takes such care of their property as you do raise the value of the neighborhood in my estimation.

I ordered an extra 10 because you know how these things go. A few stop working and a couple years from now, China no longer makes them.
Chris with your skills I am sure you could retro-fit something in place but I like your way MUCH better! Just don't put them up so good you can't find them LOL not that I would do anything like that

been working on retaining wall benching after work for a couple hours each night. Lots of work shimming joists as the big blocks are dimensionally all over the place.
Wish I could find this square lattice in the "privacy" version here in the Toronto area. Don't love the big gaps between slats.

How pretty! I say let the wood go natural and it will gray out over time and the stone and wood will match after a while!

Wow, smart idea. Perhaps paint/cloth/something dark/black the block then apply the privacy screen?
I wish I was as handy as you Chris.

If you stain it using a spray gun, that should hide the block behind the lattice. Whatever you do, use a transparent stain, not semi-transparent or opaque.

this is something I've considered but I do like that warm look next to a not so warm looking concrete.

Thanks buddy. I have used coroplast behind lattice before. That is an option. Finding it in colors other than natural and white, not so easy.
Another part of the project behind me. When this is all over, I may get a couple large planter boxes to break up the size of this seating area.
Last pics shows the river rock. Weeping tile is under that. All rain will drain towards those areas and away from the wall.
Next up, trench for sprinklers, gonna rototill the entire grass area, grade and sod.

Instead of planter boxes, please consider using some shallow round and a few occasional taller ceramic planters and plant flowers and greens so that some will stand up, some will drape and place them in small groupings along the long benches. Random groups of 3 sized pots would look nice. The roundness of them will break up the squareness of the bench, fence line, etc.
Just a suggestion

I love the big round ceramic pots. So expensive though. I love that tall ornamental grass.. Kinda sways in the wind. You make some good suggestions, thanks.
Chris! That looks GREAT! Such a finished look!
As for the plants..............do what Maddie says............me? I kill a plant as soon as I look at it Now give my a dog or cat and I can keep them alive LOL

if and when I do put plants there, they will have automated dippers hooked into my irrigation system.. Otherwise, they would die too.
