Why You Should Install a Wooden Fence Around Your Yard
Your yard is where where you and your family spend much of your free time. It’s your little slice of paradise, where you can relax, feel the grass under your toes and have a good old fashioned barbecue. If your home is your castle, then your yard is your kingdom.
Whether you live in Austin, Dallas or Houston, Texas homeowners know that installing a fence around your yard, especially your back yard is an investment that is worth the research and effort. Having a fully fenced yard immediately creates an environment which extends your living space into a more natural, outdoor environment, while still maintaining your privacy. There are many benefits to fencing your yard, and especially with a wooden fence versus a chain link fence.
The main benefit of enclosing your yard with a wooden fence is privacy. People driving or walking by your yard cannot see or involve themselves with what you are doing, without your invitation. There are many families who regularly swim, barbecue, suntan, spend time playing outdoor games and eat outdoors. Doing so without passers-by makes the experience more enjoyable, and let’s you be less self-conscious.
There are many types of wooden fences, including fences that are installed one plank at a time and anchored with 4 x 4 wooden posts, unpainted or painted fences, or you might even consider a wood panel fence – the planks are already connected in eight foot sheets and are installed much simpler. Some homes are better suited for fully fenced yards, while others may only need the back yard fenced.
“The Best Wooden Fence Company in Texas”
Many families have pets that spend much of the time outdoors. A fence allows your dog to run around outside, without you worrying about them running off. If the idea of keeping your dog cooped up inside or chained to tether all day horrifies you, then a fence is the perfect solution. Some cities may require a fence for dog owners to let their pets outside without a leash. Both Dallas & Austin require a fenced-in yard to let your dog outside. In some places, they specify chain link fences, which are ugly to look at and make your house look like a jail. However, you can usually install a wooden fence around the chain link fence for aesthetic purposes.
Looking at a fenced in yard from an aesthetic point of view, a quality fence that is painted in a coordinating color can increase the visual appeal of a home tremendously. A house sitting on a piece of property, with no borders, draws the attention only to the house. But a house, surrounded by a wooden fence that is purposefully installed to coordinate with and supplement the appearance of the house creates the illusion of a homestead, rather than just a house. It appeals to potential buyers because of privacy issues and increases potential buyers who might have small children, pets or other reasons that they simply want their back yard to have boundaries. And, the fence gives the homeowner more to decorate with landscaping and other ornaments.
Your home is one of the most expensive and valuable investments that you will ever make. Most people spend much of their time thinking of ways to increase the value and appearance of their home. One way to do this and do so relatively inexpensively is by installing a wooden fence that complements your home. Call As Good As New, LLC and we’ll help you pick the right fence for your home.
