OBJECTIVE
Before moving on to the budget phase, it is necessary to define very well what you want to do, agreeing on criteria, so that once everything is well defined, the cost of execution can be calculated.
For this reason we are going to go through the design by parts in order to solve doubts and make decisions that define the final result.
We need your comments, answers to questions and decisions to advance in the project and budget.
1- Confirm that the wall in the image needs to be covered with plants.
1.1- Confirm whether it is to be covered with climbing plants or shrubs.
Options for climbers could be;

Eugenia - Myrtifolia Newport
1.2- Confirm whether the wall is to be covered up to cover the neighbour's black railing in the future, or just to cover the wall.
