Fence Builders

“Good fences make good neighbors” is a classic quote from the Robert Frost poem “Mending Wall.” Many people agree with the literary genius. Is there a more iconic representation of Americana than the white picket fence of Tom Sawyer? These structures are so ingrained in our culture that most homes in America have a version in one form or another. When the time comes for fencing to accentuate or protect your home, there are choices to make, from height to style, function, and color. Just thinking about it can seem overwhelming, but Heartland Designs And Outdoor Living is here to help!

When you start your commercial or residential fencing project, that’s where we come in. Function is typically the driving force behind an installation. Some are intended to keep pets in or people out, add a classic American charm, or provide privacy for those worried about prying eyes. For those with a pool, a privacy fence is a practical necessity and, in most states, a law.

Some property owners only decide to fence in the backyard, creating a defined outdoor living space while leaving the front open for long tosses with a football. If fencing the whole property is for you, different styles can be incorporated in harmony, and adding some sensored lighting can create the feeling of security we want from our homes. Whatever features you are looking for, there is sure to be one that suits your needs and accents your home.

There are a variety of options when choosing the type of fence you want:

• Wooden fences have a classic look and blend into most settings. They are environmentally responsible, easy to install, and easy to customize their color.

• Chain-link fences have been the fence of choice for commercial properties for decades. They are affordable, durable, and offer great protection for warehouses and residences.

• Steel is very strong, and being able to see through it acts as a deterrent and can be as high as 20 feet.

• Composite materials can have the look and aesthetic of wood, but because they are made from a mixture of wood and plastic fibers, they are much more resistant to insects and rot.

• Masonry-style fences, made from concrete pavers, brick, or stone, have a timeless, classic look and work well with homes with a stately appearance. These unique designs can last up to 100 years with proper maintenance.

• Vinyl fences are stronger and more flexible than wood and can last 20 or 30 years. They typically have a more complex installation than other materials.

A fence can benefit your property in many ways, and choosing the right one is as important as the company that installs it.
