I was initially skeptical about how this would look, but it turned out great. I needed more privacy in my backyard due to the view fencing. The artificial ivy I used previously didn't hold up, but this looks much better. I placed a green privacy screen behind the boxwood panels to prevent anything from showing through and to hide the blank spots. It worked quite well. I'll try to update my review later on how it holds up to constant sun and monsoon weather.
