Landscaping with Cedar Fencing

In today's home owning era, fencing has become very popular. A tall fence providing privacy from neighbors is appealing for many, not to mention the added bonus of containing children or animals for safety reasons. A fence can also add some architectural interest to a yard or garden, adding another dimension to your landscaping design. When landscaping, there are many factors to consider. Do you need a fence simply for decoration or will you be building for security and privacy purposes? It's important to consider factors such as durability, budget and function. Once you figure out what your fence will be used for, you'll be able to pick out the right type of fence for your needs.

Wood Fences

If you are looking for a sturdy, reliable and secure fence, this is the one for you. Wood is strong and is a great option to protect your property and keep your children and/or animals safe. Wood fences are often considered aesthetically pleasing and can add value to your property. Both cedar and treated wood work well in constructing a fence. Cedar wood fencing has a natural golden/red hue that adds a bit of a rustic flair and can complement your landscaping nicely. Treated wood often has a greenish tint because of the copper solution used to treat it. However, a treated fence can be painted for a more attractive look.

Panel Fences

Fences made from wood panels are often used to provide attractive privacy barriers. If you are in a neighborhood where yards are in close proximity, this is a good choice. Panel fences have several varieties in the top edge and can be painted any color desired.

Vinyl Fences

A great benefit to this type of fence is that it will be almost completely maintenance free. Vinyl will not rot or fade with time. Vinyl fences resemble fences made from wood and would be the perfect choice for someone who desires minimal upkeep.

Post and Rail Fences

For a rustic appearance, try this fence made from fence posts and connecting rails. A post and rail fence is an effective barrier and the perfect solution to be using in defining property lines.

Privacy

Privacy fences are perhaps one of the most popular as they shut out sound and define boundaries. Privacy fencing is available in so many options that there is something to appeal to every homeowner.
