I'm considering removing the front fence (which is a criss cross pattern made of wood) at the front of my house (its literally only 1m high, there is no gate, and you can walk around it using the driveway. This would allow me to create a path from my doorway, directly to the footpath, and replace the grass with Trees native shrubs and flowers. I'd then grow a small hedge where the fence was.

Just wondering whether the fence adds any real value to the property, if I replace it with a hedge anyway?

Thanks for the response. It might actually just be small shrubs (rather than a clean hedge). To be honest, not a real fan of manicured hedges, which is one reason I'm considering getting rid of the grass too, and replacing with bird / bee compatible stuff.
