Different Types of Fencing for Landscapes

No matter how beautiful your landscape may be, chances are you’d prefer at least a little bit of privacy. That involves the building of a fence around your landscape to keep out animals and unwanted eyes.

But one of the most important things to keep in mind is that the types of fences you install on your landscapes can actually affect the look of your yard as well. That’s why you should carefully consider every single type of fence before you decide what to install, and talk to your landscape designer about the fences that they recommend for your area and design.

Fence Types Popular in Sacramento

The following are some of the most popular Sacramento fences, so that you can start getting an idea of what you need to talk about with your landscape designer.

• Wood Fences

We all know about the dream for the white picket fence. That’s why Capital Landscape installs a number of wood fences. It is easily the most popular fence type out there, and although it is a bit high maintenance and can be prone to damage from children, weather, and dogs, wood fence installation is a great way to have that American dream and add value to your home.

• Aluminum Fences

Aluminum fencing is arguably just as popular. Although it tends to be a bit thinner, and thus not necessarily as protective against unwanted guests, it is essentially maintenance free and can come in designs that are quite popular with consumers.

• PVC Fences

PVC fence installation is one of the few combinations of security, and looks. PVC tends to look much like a wood fence, and yet provides excellent security and withstands the elements. It is also one of the most durable fence types on the market. Not everyone loves PVC material, but it is still a good choice for fencing.

• Bamboo Fences

A choice that’s growing in popularity in Sacramento is the Bamboo fence. It is one of the most eco-friendly fence options, it is more durable than wood, and it has a very unique look to it that may increase the value of your home, and is certainly an amazing addition to Asian themed gardens. There is also the possibility of live bamboo fencing, and although it is not always recommended (because of costs and upkeep), it is a fascinating way to build a fence.

• Wrought Iron Fences

One of the most classic types of fences and one that is known to improve home value, the wrought iron fence may be much more expensive than other fencing options, but can have a beautiful look to it that is very popular with consumers.

• Vinyl Fences

Last but not least is vinyl fencing. This style of fence is extremely durable, great for resisting graffiti if you happen to live in an area of Sacramento where graffiti is common, and is otherwise low maintenance. It costs more to install, but in many cases that cost is offset by the significant lack of maintenance involved and private nature of most vinyl fencing.

There are a lot of different options for fences, and each one has a different cost, appearance, and structure. If you’re interested in finding out more about fences in Sacramento, contact Capital Landscape today at (916) 783-5080.
