Picture this: you have just moved into your beautiful new home and your kids are dying to play outside in your large backyard. The only problem is your house didn’t come with a fence! Whether you have young kids, a dog or just like the idea of privacy in your yard, you’ve probably considered installing a fence at one point or another.
You’ve moved into a new home and your next step is to think about what kind of fencing you want. Once you have committed, you are able to begin the fence installation process at your Denver home, but what are the first few steps? You want to check on any regulations your neighborhood might have, talk to your neighbors, even think about sketching out what it will look like once it is completed.
If your house doesn’t already have one (or doesn’t have one to your liking), a fence is a great addition to your home. It can provide safety for your children or pets, conceal a swimming pool or hot tub, protect landscaping and much more. As a bonus, it is a desired feature by many, so when it comes time to sell your home years down the line, your new fence may be a deciding factor for potential buyers.
Often times, you will have more than one reason for wanting or needing a fence. You may want to keep your young kids safely enclosed while also concealing a swimming pool. In this case, a tall wood fence with tightly spaced panels will work. If you need help figuring out which type of fence is best for you, see what neighbors in similar situations have installed or consult a local fencing professional.
Before you begin your fence installation, you will want to talk to your bordering neighbors, particularly if your fence will run along property lines. It’s important to make sure that your new fence will be on your land and won’t cross over into a neighbor’s property. If needed, you can always contact a land surveyor to mark the property line for you.
