Advantages of a New Jersey Residential Fence

In some areas, residential fencing is the norm, but only in some neighborhoods. Deciding to install a fence is a big decision. Some neighbors will love your new addition; others may have mixed feelings. So, it can help to go over the choice to install a fence before you do. Once you do, you will likely find that the advantages of a New Jersey residential fence outweigh any negatives.

The reason most people want a fence is to add privacy to their yards. Not only do fences provide a visual obstruction, they also provide a sound barrier. Wood and vinyl fences create barriers, allowing you and your family to enjoy your backyard in peace. While you can still have guests over, you get to choose who you let into your yard and when.

Fences also provide a sense of security. They can help deter trespassers by keeping people out of the yard. If you use a fenced yard as a place for your dogs to play outdoors, you add to the security. Trespassers avoid homes with dogs, and a fenced yard lets people know you have a dog inside.

Fences do not just keep your pets contained; they also help keep your children contained, as well. A fenced yard supplies a safe area where children can play without getting into other people’s yards or the street. While children should still be supervised, a fenced yard lets you ensure they are safe while still getting to relax.

While fences keep people and animals in, they also keep them out. You can use a fence to keep children from coming into your yard to use dangerous things like pools or trampolines unsupervised. Fences can keep animals out of the yard, from roaming dogs to wild animals. The height and material of a fence play a crucial role in its effectiveness. While a typical residential fence might not be designed to keep out larger animals like bears, it’s well-suited for most common needs. For those looking to protect a garden from deer, opting for a taller fence can provide that extra level of security
