Smartening up your property's exterior with a new fence or hedge is a worthwhile endeavor — whether you're selling or staying. After all, an elegant boundary improves appearance, increases security, and creates privacy.
There's so much choice in slat styles, timber tones, and finishing touches, not to mention paint colors and climbing plants, it's an opportunity to upgrade your garden, front or back, too. Yet, before you go perusing privacy fence ideas, there are some important practical aspects to familiarize yourself with. Without care and attention, fences can be a source of neighborly disputes, particularly if you inadvertently veer into someone else's territory.
