Choosing your front yard fence can be difficult. Read on for helpful tips!
With countless materials, styles, designs, and functions available to you when choosing your front yard fence, it can be a surprisingly overwhelming decision. When choosing your front yard fence, you should take into account the following questions to make sure that you are happy (and safe) for years to come.
Why Do You Want A Fence for Your Front Yard?
Is your fence going to help keep a boundary between your property and your neighbor’s property? Do you want a fence to keep your dog (and child) in your yard? Or, is your fence mainly to serve as an accent to your landscaping and the outside of your home? The purpose of your front yard fence dictates its design and material limitations, so it is crucial to decide what the purpose will be before going any further.
What’s Your Style?
The style of your home and your family should also be factored in when choosing a fence. Take a moment to go observe your home from the driveway or curb outside, where your front yard fence will be. What color palette runs throughout your landscaping and exterior? What style is your home? The best front yard fence for your home should reflect your home’s architecture and style and seem to fit right in. Simple homes should have simple fences to match, and ornamental and elegant homes should have ornamental fences to match as well.
How Can You Accent Your Fence?
Front yard fence accents can be built into your fence itself or be planted in the yard surrounding your fence. The gate is the best place to set your fence apart from others. While you still need to make sure that your gate correlates with the purpose of your fence (security, privacy, accent, etc.), you have many more design and color choices available to you. You can choose unique hardware to accent your gate or paint it any color you can imagine. You can also use lighting along your fence to make it safer and more beautiful.
