The use of the ha-ha, or sunken fence, to create and at the same time conceal the physical division between garden and contiguous park grounds (a division needed to keep grazing animals out of the garden) was a major step in the creation of the new, "natural" garden. Walpole explains the purpose of the visual unification: The contiguous ground of the park without the sunk fence was to be harmonized with the lawn within; and the garden in its turn was to be set free from its prime regularity, that it might assort with the wilder country without. 4, record 3, English, - ha%2Dha

Kent imagina, pour prolonger la perspective et inclure tout un paysage dans un jardin, un nouveau genre de clôture, baptisé le "ha-ha", pour exprimer la surprise qu'il cause.
