One of the less thrilling aspects of designing a garden is considering what needs disguising. The aesthetic reach of your plot can be somewhat curtailed by, admittedly essential, but often eye-wincingly ugly features, such as extractor fans, septic tanks, and PVC drainpipes.
Whilst some homes with architectural pedigree have particularly lovely drainpipes, in other cases, they are strictly functional with no consideration for aesthetics whatsoever. Rather than simply learning how to hide a garden wall, attempting to distract from ugly drainpipes requires a slightly different approach.
