His (adult) yard is a rectangular 22'x45' and flat with some grass and weeds. Will partial walls connected to the sides make the area feel larger for him since he likes to patrol the perimeter? Is it okay to build small hills in the middle because he may be able to see over his walls?
Sight barriers to make yard seem larger?

Obstacles and sight barriers will break up that perimeter patrol, but I don't think that will make it seem bigger.
Hills are great, and seeing over the walls is not a problem.
An adult sulcata needs more space than that. I suggest 50x50 as a minimum.

Enclosure inspiration
Howdy folks! Hope everyone is well! As you all know, I’m a big fan of making threads that cater more towards visual learners like myself, I’ve really been wanting to create a thread full of adult enclosure inspiration for a while now, I’ve managed to find some great references over time! I do...

Instead of walls, I'm trying to place a lot of safe plants. It breaks things up and allows for nibbles. The plants I don't want completely eaten, I'm keeping in really big planters. I also used an old tire for a barrier to plant in. Although my sulcata is not an adult yet, so who knows if that will keep working.
Hi and welcome! May we see some pictures of the tortoise and the enclosure?
