When should you get a new fence? Let’s go through the seasons.
A new fence could be the ticket to securing your property, providing privacy for your outdoor living space, or allowing your pet to run around the yard. Is there a best time to install a new fence? If you are in central Maryland, consider the pros and cons of installing a fence in each season.
Looking at Each Season
Winter
Maryland winters can fluctuate between mild warmth and bitter cold. Some years it might snow, and other years it might have a light frost that melts the next day. As long as the ground is clear and not frozen, it is possible to install a new fence. It’s best to wait until a clear spell between winter storms.
Spring
April showers don’t have to dampen your new fence project in spring. This season is a great time to build a new fence. The weather is warm and mild, and everyone is starting to want to get outdoors again. The ground is also easier to work with due to the milder temperatures and rain.
Summer
Maryland has two or three months of humid, hot weather. With the right sun protection and hydration, it’s possible for construction workers to work outdoors in summer without any issues. If you are home during the summer, it’s still a great time to schedule a fence installation. In fact, this season is the most popular for home improvement projects.
Fall
Fall is another great time to install a new fence. Like in spring, the weather is cooler and the soil is soft. Spring and fall are both great seasons to avoid the high demand for home improvements that come in summer. Vegetation is also starting to go dormant, so it might be easier to work around perennials when you install in fall.
There’s No Time Like the Present
As you can see, each season has its advantages for pursuing outdoor home improvement projects. When you are ready, contact Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence for a free quote!
