Planning a Backyard Project? Don’t Make the Fence an Afterthought
If you're spending some time in the yard this weekend and thinking about changes you'd like to make next year, there's one part of the plan that's easy to leave until the end: the fence.
Homeowners often start with the patio, pool, landscaping, garden, or outdoor living area and think about fencing later. But your fence can affect how the entire space looks, feels, and functions.
If you're planning a backyard renovation on Cape Cod or in Wilmington, MA, it makes sense to think about fencing from the beginning.
Start With How You Want to Use the Yard
Before choosing a fence material or style, think about what you're trying to accomplish.
Are you looking for:
More backyard privacy?
A defined pool or patio area?
Space for children or pets?
A boundary without blocking the view?
Separation between different outdoor areas?
A fence that complements new landscaping?
Better access through strategically placed gates?
Those answers can help determine everything from fence height and placement to material, style, and gate locations.
Your Fence Is Part of the Design
A fence doesn't have to be something you simply put around a finished yard.
Vinyl, cedar, aluminum, chain link, and post and rail fencing all create very different looks and serve different purposes. The right choice can complement the architecture of your home, frame landscaping, create privacy, preserve an open view, or help turn a large yard into more defined spaces.
Planning ahead also gives you an opportunity to think carefully about gates. Where will people normally enter? Do you need access for a mower, landscaping equipment, outdoor furniture, or other larger items?
Those details are much easier to consider before everything else is finished.
