What Fence Is Right For You?

They may be cute, cuddly, and fluffy but are rabbits and other critters destroying your hard work? Here are a few tricks that may help keep these critters out of your garden. Placing an inflatable snake around your garden can keep the rabbits from even thinking about getting close to it. The trick is to make the snake look real and move it around the garden often. Another strategy would be adding coffee grounds to your garden.

Coffee grounds add nutrients to soil and it deters pests such as picky deer, slugs and even cats. The last quick trick up our sleeve is soap. Cut your fresh smelling soap up and put it along the outsides of your garden. The smell may help keep the squirrels from eating your precious fruits and veggies you have worked so hard to grow.

Fence Etiquette to Avoid Disputes with Neighbors

One of the best ways to be a good neighbor is to practice proper fence etiquette. When you follow local zoning regulations, make respectful choices, and maintain communication with your neighbors, you’ll be able to install a new fence and stay on amicable terms with them. As you plan your next fence project, keep the following tips in mind.

Zoning Regulations and HOA Rules
It’s important to check local regulations for setbacks, height, and additions restrictions. Keep in mind that there are usually other rules for corner lots. Look into your Home Owner Association (HOA) rules as well.

Property Lines
Before you put up a new fence, talk to your neighbors. Make sure that you know where the property lines are and let them know that you’ll be doing a little construction. Some people find it beneficial to put their fences one or two feet inside of the property lines to avoid disputes. The more proactive you are at communicating with your neighbors, the better.

Positioning
Keep in mind, it’s considered best practice to put the better side of a fence facing towards the neighbors. Put yourself in your their shoes and think how you would feel if you had to look at the ugly side of their brand new fence every day. You don’t want to be the kind of person who does this to the other neighborhood residents.

Maintenance
Every fence requires some level of maintenance. Some materials, such as wood, require more frequent cleaning and re-sealing and other materials, such as vinyl. Even when neighbors aren’t thrilled about your fence, they are less likely to complain if it’s attractive. If you need help on fence cleaning advice, check out our website.

5 Things to Know Before You Build a Fence

Know What Type of Fence You’re Looking For

Before you install a fence, its important to first ask yourself the purpose of the fence. Are you trying to add a decorative element to your home? Maybe you’re trying to create privacy for your family? Whatever your purpose, a fence can function in many ways so do your research and choose one that works for you!

Do Your Research Into Building Codes

Installing a fence is not as easy as buying the material and putting the labor in. Its crucial that you research your homeowners and neighborhood association codes. These regulate the rules for fence height, look and material. Its also important to outline your property line so the fence is properly installed on your actual property and not your neighbors.

Be Courteous of Your Neighbors

To avoid any confrontation down the road, it’s important to be open and up front with your neighbors about your plans to install a fence. If your neighbor decides to share the fence, make such agreements in writing and only after the property boundaries have been professionally determined.

Consider the Climate Factor

When deciding which fence to choose, factor in the climate aspect of where you live. In colder climates, anchors may be needed and a certain depth for posts should be secured in order to avoid cracking in a cold snap. In warmer climates, vinyl is your best material as wood is susceptible to water damage.

Hire Professionals

Professionals understand the intricacies of zoning, permits and fencing requirements that come with the job. While many companies can help you design a great looking fence that will be the envy of the entire neighborhood, only local companies know how much that six-foot fence is going to cost you, by way of a free estimate.
