I have this horrible retaining wall right outside windows. Any ideas how to improve look. I’ve tried growing bromeliads in gaps but didn’t last. House roof almost meets top of wall and a lot of debris falls down from huge trees above.
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Pat25. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about a retaining wall.
You could improve the look of the retaining wall by attaching some exterior screening panels across the area. These panels would help block the view and could provide a more aesthetically pleasing outcome. They are relatively easy to install and could likely be done in a day for an instant result. Take a look at our range of options that might suit your space and needs.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

I’ve received the fake ivy and attached with edging steaks and plastic ties. Rather fiddly due to limited space to work in but sometimes it pays to be small!
Hello @Pat25
Thank you very much for posting that update. The image outside your window looks much better than the retaining wall. My aunt did something similar and placed a PVC mural of a flower garden outside. Since the windows are one right after the other, I also suggest thinking about putting in pictures of what you might see when on a train.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

That looks pretty good 
Any chance you could show us a photo from outside that shows down the side? I like the outside the window thinking I was going to suggest mirrors in some kind of way, even behind the ivory would give another dimension to it.
