Fill it with dirt and plant ivy or strawberries.
Article doesn’t mention why they were asked to put up a fence to begin with.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Otherwise, how about, uhhhhhh
NOT
putting up a fence?
Ask someone to put up a fence? Pony up or shut up.
Most fences aren’t a major breeding ground for mosquitoes.
“We were asked to put up a fence,”
Why?
And I would have said “you paying for it?”
Now if you hit it with some spray paint graffiti... How bout inviting some inner-city vandals out to make one of those so-called murals you see in the city.... why then no one could say it was ugly because that would be rassssistttt....
Problem solved.
Mosquito refuge.
Nobody is “asked” to put up a fence by city or county government. They are told to if required to by some ordinance. Usually if there is a pool or problem with a dog getting loose all the time. You can be sure the type of fence permitted (or required for a pool) is clearly stated. If the neighbors asked that doesn’t change having to put up one made of allowable materials. For the most part people don’t ask neighbors to fence off their property unless there is a nuisance like a big pile of crap they are tired of looking at. The tire fence people are the sort that keep code-enforcement divisions funded and justified.
I must be a Philistine. Her “work of art” sure looks like a stack of tires to me.
It’s gross and lazy.
Never knew the local gas stations were displaying “works of art”.
At least they could have cut them in two, painted them, (I’d suggest fence browns) and laid them out in an interlocking pattern it “might” look OK.
“We were asked to put up a fence,” she said. “Chain link fences are really expensive. We can’t afford the expense of a chain link fence to go all the way down through there.”
...
Chain link fences don’t look all that good either.
I’m sure someone was more than happy to give her those tires free to save themselves the ~$240/ton cost of disposing of them to the tire recycling yard. LOL!

4240/ton
the reason for the wall is conspicuously absentThe important thing is, someone BUILT THAT WALL!
Water gets in the tires and breeds mosquitos.
Only a trashy family would think anything like that is ok.
It will probably cost more for them to remove it that for them to have put up a chain link fence plus tire disposal fee is $1.50-$2 per tire.
There have got to be better looking alternatives than old dirty tires to make a fence. Just plant some Oleander.
If you’re really determined, try Blackberry Bushes. But be careful, Blackberry bushes tend to take over the entire area, and the limbs are covered in sharp thorns.
Thistle worked for the Scots, centuries ago.
I’d say remove it also. If nothing else it’s public health hazard. Mosquito farm on steroids
Aaaaaaand, this story is far from over. They’ve been given 30 days (from time article was written ) to get rid of the tires. “Tire Art” lady says she’s gonna replace the tires with more “art”. Please keep us updated on this squabble as it involves 2 vindictive, southern females. Oh yea, this could get goooood !
