What Fence Works Best With Your Landscape?

What Kind of Fence Should You Get?

There are many styles available when it comes to fencing. The first thing you should consider is what you're going to use the fence for. If it's primarily for privacy, you're going to have to check with your local council to see if there are any restrictions as far as height goes. After all, you don't want to invest a lot of money in a fence that you can't even use! Generally you should not encounter height issues if the purpose of your fence is to keep children or pets from straying.


Which Design is Right for You?

Ideally, the fencing that you use should mesh well with the rest of your landscape design scheme - and with your house. Timber is a nice option, since it matches a variety of looks. It pays to invest in high-quality timber, since it's not as liable to deteriorate over time. Remember that you can select unfinished treated timber fences and paint them any color you want. Steel fences are convenient too and extremely durable; brick and bamboo are also viable options to consider depending on the look and function you are wishing to achieve.

Things to Know Before Installing a Fence -

Before the landscape gardeners install the fence that you've chosen, you need to make sure that everything is on the up-and-up when it comes to your local council regulations. First, you should check with your local council to make sure that your fence fits within its guidelines or your Brisbane landscaper can advise you; this is especially important if it's taller than other fences in the neighborhood, has unusual features or will form a part of a retaining wall.
