While it may still seem like we’re in the trenches of winter, the spring season will be here sooner than you think. For many, springtime provides the perfect opportunity to consider making changes to both the interior and exterior of your home and get it ready in time for the summer to arrive. This is especially true for things like landscaping and the decor in your front and backyards, places where many tend to spend the majority of their outdoor time in the warmer months. And although springtime renovations can range from minor to major—depending on your ambition, budget, and needs—the spring is the ideal time to kick off larger renovations and makeovers.
Unfortunately, one of the simplest renovations tends to get overlooked until it’s too late: your fence. Before you take your springtime renovation ideas any further, consider some major reasons why installing a fence in the spring should be the first thing on your list.
A New Fence Sets the Tone and Defines the Space
We’ve heard from plenty of customers who wish they would have picked a new fence style to install before renovating the exterior areas of their homes.
Fences are not afterthoughts in your yard—they completely set the tone for the aesthetics of everything around them. Think about it: your fence is essentially the canvas you’re working on or a backdrop that cannot be moved. It also has a massive effect on the overall look of your space, whether it’s because of the color, material, shape, or height.
By starting with a new fence and setting the look of what will be bordering the rest of your landscaping, furniture, features, and lighting, you’ll have a much clearer picture of what you’re working with. This will allow you to strategically plan everything else that goes inside of it. For example, a yard with a new open-air style steel fence with plenty of visibility through it may opt for certain placements of decorative landscaping, furniture, or even things like dog runs and swimming pools. The same goes for full-panel wood fences, chain link, vinyl, and so on.
Who knows? Your newly-installed fence may have you rethink your entire plans to best match it—or even cause you to need fewer upgrades and changes to other areas of your yard.
A New Fence Secures Your Area Under Renovation
While it may not apply to everyone, another big reason to install a fence prior to a springtime renovation in your yard is fairly simple and obvious: security. If you have what’s basically an open construction area that’s not secured by a fence, your in-progress landscaping and renovations could get damaged or ruined by unwanted animals or other objects that could make their way onto the property if not blocked from entering. If the area is open, and you plan on eventually having a fence, we recommend you just go ahead and take care of the fence first—there’s too much at stake!
