privacy fences to block out your neighbor

If you want privacy and security for your home, a custom fence can be a good solution for this. There are many different things that can be done with a custom fence, such as adding electrical installations, adding a vertical garden, or integrating other landscaping features into the design of your fence. Here are some custom fence design ideas that you may want to consider to get more than just privacy out of your new fence:

1. Shining Light On Your Fence With Lighting And Electrical Wiring

If you want to shine a little light on your fence, consider electrical installations. You can have your fence wired for landscape lighting and lights for the post caps. When you have this done, you may also want to consider outdoor outlets for plugging in electric devices. This can be good if you use any electrical tools for lawn care maintenance or if you want to have power for other electrical devices.

2. Bringing Your Fence To Life With The Addition Of A Vertical Garden

You may also want to consider giving your fence some life with a vertical garden. There are many different ways you can add a vertical garden to your fence. This can be done by building planters and attaching them to your fence. You can also have your fence built with a design that integrates a vertical garden with planters on a terraced design. When doing a vertical garden, you will want to have the heavier plants at the bottom of your fence and the lighter plants at the top. The base of the garden is a good place to plant small fruit trees, which you can prune to keep them from growing too tall.

3. Blending Your Fencing Into Landscaping With Integrated Structures  

You may also want to have your fence blend into the landscaping around your home. This can be done by creating structures to integrate into the fence. Arbors, seating and wood patios can be great features to combine with a fence. You may want to consider and arbor for shade on your fence, which can also have bench seating and a small wood patio area. This can be great for a relaxing area and more seating in your backyard.

These are some custom fence design ideas that you may want to consider to get more than just privacy out of your new fence. If you are ready to have a privacy fence installed for your home, contact a fencing contractor and discuss some of these ideas with them.
