PICKET FENCES

When you think of Houston, you probably think of skyscrapers, apartments, and brick houses. But amazingly we have a number of beautiful historic districts and with these some much admired picket fences. Here's a sample from the Houston Heights and Woodland Heights districts.

It's rare to find other colors, but here's a wonderful green picket fence.

The very intricate white pickets blend with the natural planting scheme.

The clumping grasses blend in perfectly with the design.
