Emily said: "I hated this chain link fence by our patio, so added faux boxwood panels."

Emily then confirmed: "Each box is $100 [£80] and I used two, but ordered another to finish."

If you are impressed with Emily's fence overhaul, you’ll be even more stunned to know that it only took her an hour to do it too.

She stated: "This took one hour."

One person said: "THIS IS THE SMARTEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD OF. So classy!!"

To this, Emily replied: "Legit waited for my waiter (husband) to bring me a cocktail because I felt like I was at a resort after."

Another added: "Looks awesome!!"

A third commented: "I absolutely love this."

Someone else asked: "Great idea! Would love to do this! Just curious - do they get faded or gross after being out in the direct sun/exposed to the elements?"

To this, Emily replied: "This isn't in direct sunlight but I am in Nebraska so we’ll see how it does through our weather!"

If you fancy giving this a go, you can order boxwood artificial grass from Amazon and there are a variety of different sizes and prices available, to suit the size of your fence and your budget.
