Is your home a corner property? Corner properties in most municipalities are considered to have two front yards and two side yards. Check with your township for full regulations. This can determine what type of fence you are permitted.
What level of privacy are you wanting? Semiprivate fencing provides a partial view and allows air flow while a full privacy fence blocks out the view completly and provides a level of security.
Are you wanting a low maintenance fence? Aluminum, vinyl, composite and chain link are all low maintenance fence materials that provide lasting beauty for years to come.
Do you like the natural beauty of wood? Wood is a classic style that goes with most properties and outdoor decor. Wood products can be stained, painted or left in a natural state. When left untreated wood naturally begins to weather to a grey tone. With a life span of 15-20 years.
