The spring and summer months are considered fence building season in Northeast Ohio. Adding a fence to your home during growing season allows you to fully develop a beautiful look for your outdoor space, including paint or stain for wood fences and completed with perennials and annuals to finish your design.
Don’t delay with planning, though. Your expert fence builder will be busy, so get your planning started now and get your project scheduled. Here are a few tips to arrange for the ultimate fence project.
Before building your fence in Mentor OH
- Determine why you are building a fence so you choose the right style of fence and the right materials to do the job. (i.e., security, privacy, safety for pets or children)
- Determine the best access points and choose the right size gates.
- Learn zoning restrictions in your community and whether there are any Homeowners’ Association rules in your neighborhood. In some communities and neighborhoods, there may be height or materials restrictions and often there are specified setbacks relative to property lines, streets, and rights-of-way.
- Consider how much time you have for maintenance. A wood fence will need considerably more attention (regular staining or painting) than a vinyl fence, which needs almost no maintenance.
- Consider how different fence materials will contribute to the look you desire for your home and yard. (i.e., chain link vs. aluminum, board-on-board vs. picket)
- Plan your landscaping strategy along with your fence plans to avoid the potential overgrowth of trees or shrubs that could damage your fence or interfere with maintenance.
