Si le spectateur se trouve au même niveau que le mur, sa ligne de vue sera sensiblement horizontale. On obtiendra une meilleure efficacité du mur en le doublant de végétaux sans qu'ils soient nécessairement très élevés. Si le spectateur surplombe le mur, ce dernier sera peu efficace et il conviendra de le doubler de végétaux très élevés. Si enfin, le spectateur est en contre-bas par rapport au mur, la ligne de vue s’élève, d’autant plus d’ailleurs qu'il sera plus proche du mur, et des végétaux de faible hauteur cacheront complètement ce dernier. 1, record 2, French, - ligne%20de%20vue
