Common Fence Types We Install in the Allandale Area

6-Foot Wood Privacy Fences For Backyards

The most requested option in Allandale is still a classic wood privacy fence. Cedar and pressure-treated pine are both popular, depending on budget and finish preference. These fences work especially well for families with kids, dog owners, and homeowners who want a quiet backyard retreat that’s shielded from neighboring activity.

Older lots often benefit from stepped or racked installation to accommodate subtle grade changes while keeping fence lines clean.

Horizontal and Modern Wood Fencing

As more homes are renovated or rebuilt, horizontal wood fences have become a familiar sight on certain blocks in Allandale. These designs pair nicely with modern architecture and updated landscaping, offering privacy with a more contemporary profile.

Decorative Front Fences

Front-yard fencing in Allandale is typically low and intentional rather than tall and imposing. In addition to short horizontal fencing, 3-4 foot picket fences or ornamental metal fences help define the space while preserving the neighborhood’s inviting, friendly feel. These fences are often used to frame gardens or protect landscaped beds without closing off the home visually.

Metal and Ornamental Accents

Metal fencing is often used selectively around patios, side yards, or garden enclosures where visibility is important but a physical boundary is still needed. Powder-coated aluminum and wrought-style designs are durable and low maintenance under mature tree canopies while still having visual appeal.

Fence Replacement: Replacing an Old Fence in Allandale the Right Way

Many properties in Allandale still have fencing that dates back years, sometimes decades. An old fence may lean, rot at the posts, or simply no longer match the way the property is used today. Fence replacement gives homeowners the opportunity to rethink layout, gate placement and materials rather than simply rebuilding what was already there.

When we replace an existing fence, our team evaluates:

• The accuracy of the property lines
• Post depth and soil conditions
• How to around mature trees
• Drainage patterns that can cause premature rot
• Gate locations that improve daily access and flow
• Updated fence materials that extend lifespan
