Does your home need some front yard fencing?
Does your home need some front yard fencing? Or maybe the wind and rain from late summer storms have destroyed your current fence. Either way, when you need to get a new fence installed in your yard, there are some important questions to answer along the way. Let’s try to answer those questions give you some advice for making sure you find the best front yard fencing that you can.
Do Your Due Diligence
What does doing your due diligence entail? First, you should get a permit for your new fence. Next, be sure to get your front yard fencing ideas approved by your neighborhood’s homeowners association. Lastly, don’t forget about contacting your area’s one-call number to figure out where your utility lines are located. By doing this, you avoid the risk of damaging these lines when you start digging to set up your fence.
- The Permit: Avoid any problems with your local laws and potential neighbor disputes. If your fence is going to be over 3 or 4 feet high, you will need to get a permit.
- Homeowners Association: Before you can begin building your fence, you will need to receive written consent from your HOA. Ask your fence contractor for some sample fence materials you can run by the HOA first.
Determine the Purpose
What do you want to do with your fence? Once you’ve completed your due diligence, you’ll also need to determine the purpose of your fence. When you know why you want the fence, it’ll make it easier to decide on the materials and the installation process before you get started.
- Style and Aesthetics: Curb appeal is a major reason people might choose front yard fencing.
- Increasing Privacy: You can keep curious neighbors and other passers-by from snooping on your yard.
- Corralling Your Pets: Your pets might be able to escape over or under a fence that’s either too tall or too short. You might also want to prevent wild animals from getting inside your property, too.
- Supporting Plants: Do you have climbing plants on your fence? Protect and encourage these plants to keep them alive longer.
