 Designing Your Landscape
Fencing can play a key role in the landscape of one’s home. Its purpose can be as simple as keeping the family dog in or as important as keeping young children out, especially from hidden dangers like a pool.
Wooden fencing is many homeowners’ product of choice. Designs can vary from split rail, solid board, spaced-picket, lattice top, basket weave and ranch rail, just to name a few. Wood can add natural beauty to the surrounding landscape of your home and its architecture. “Wood is gorgeous".
Wood should be treated to guard against rot, insect infestation and decay. Fences constructed of cedar or red wood have natural preservatives and tend to last longer.
Most importantly, before considering any fence, make sure your county and city planning regulations don’t prohibit them. It is not uncommon for city planners to put a cap on the height of a residential fence or outlaw them all together, so do your homework before you invest.
