Types of Fencing

While the options for fencing are virtually endless there are two main types of fencing; natural or living fences and material fences that are built. Both have numerous advantages for your home.

• Natural/Living Fences- Natural fences are made up of living plants, often trees or shrubs, that form a barrier around your home or yard. Generally speaking, evergreen trees, and occasionally climbing thorny rose bushes can create beautiful fences that bring privacy, noise reduction and security to your home. Landwork Contractors has a team of landscape designers who can help you find the best natural fence to keep your home beautiful and safe.

• Material/Built Fences- These fences are created out of a variety of materials to form a border around your home. Depending on the material used, these fences can bring privacy, security, safety, and noise reduction to your home. Materials include:

• Chain Link Fences

• Picket Fences

• Vinyl

• Post and Rail

• Cedar

• Spruce

• Fir

• Pressure Treated Wood

• Wrought Iron

The wide range of options provides an endless palette of designs to match any home or office.

Benefits of Fences

Fencing comes with many wonderful benefits to any home or office. Regardless of where you live or what style your home is, fencing can create an oasis of peace for your family, friends, and any guests you entertain. Some of the benefits of fencing include:

• Privacy- Depending on which style of fencing you choose, a well-built fence can protect your family from prying eyes or even criminals hoping to rob your home or business.

• Quiet- Many different fencing options actually help reduce noise by absorbing some of the sounds of passing cars or loud neighbors.
  
• Safety- The barrier created by fencing can keep everyone safe where they belong. This means pets and small children can’t wander into swimming pools or off the property. It also means animal predators like coyotes and pests like rabbits and deer stay off your property.

• Security- The right fences can protect your home not only from potential thieves but also from the elements. A tall fence, even a natural fence of tall trees or hedges, will deter criminals from stopping at your home. When it comes to natural fencing, the sharper the leaf, the better. In fact, using climbing rose bushes on windows and near important entrances can also deter criminals.

• Welcoming Entrance- Even though fencing is meant to keep people out, the right fencing design coupled with the perfect fencing accent can create a warm and welcoming entrance. A tall fence with a gate or a garden with an arbor of climbing roses can create a quaint setting while still keeping your home safe and secure.
