“This is decoration and frankly I think all of it is bad,” said Beth Myer, a landscape architect and Dean of the University of Virginia School of Architecture. “I would have a simple wall and I would have a clearer idea of whether you could spend money that would be wasted on decoration on some vines that might help to mitigate the impact of a 20-foot high wall in someone’s backyard.”
