    Rendered Front Wall - Design Issue

    We have a white rendered boundary wall which unfortunately will just never stay white. I've repainted it three times but to no avail and it really is just an eyesore. My latest thought is to put in a hedge or climbers to hide as much of the wall as possible. As you can see I have a red robin...
