Does your yard need a new fence?
In Maryland, you might notice that some yards have fences and others don’t. Some properties have front yard fences; in others, they are only allowed in backyards. You might live in a house with a backyard that anyone can access. Are fences really necessary? How much security do they really provide? How can one benefit you? Here’s why we need fences and what Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence can do for you.
Reasons We Need Fences for Our Yards
Instant Border Security
The worst-case scenario is that a trespasser climbs your fence or even burns it down. May it never be! However, a fence–even a wooden one–will immediately create a blockage to your home that a would-be intruder would have to overcome. At the very least, it slows the bad guys down. Some fences are much harder to climb, however, and are sturdy enough to face strong forces.
Protection for Children and Pets
Do you have a dog that loves to run rampant in the backyard? Do you have young children that you want to have privacy in your backyard and keep from running outside the boundary? A fence is worth having, especially one that is impossible for pets to dig under. Fences are necessary for keeping intruders out and precious cargo in.
Privacy
Fences also provide security in the way of privacy. They act like walls, making you feel more comfortable on your own piece of land. It will be harder for anyone to look onto your garden, your backyard party, your swim in the pool, or you sunbathing on the patio. If you need some privacy in your backyard, a privacy fence is your best fix.
Establishing Boundary Lines
If you have conducted a property line survey and established a fence up to the edge of your property line, you leave no room for error in enjoying as much square footage as possible. If the fence is directly on the property line, the property owners with that border will share the responsibility of its upkeep and could even customize the fence to their heart’s content, legally.
Perk: Improve Your Home Value
If you do install a new fence, you will reap the rewards financially through an improved home value. A secured property is more desirable than one where just about anyone could wander through.
