Benefits of Privacy Fencing
Enhanced Security & Safety
6-8 foot solid fencing creates a formidable barrier that deters trespassers and intruders. Prevents strangers from seeing into your yard to case your property. Keeps children and pets safely contained within your boundaries. Blocks street visibility of valuables like grills, furniture, and play equipment that might attract theft.
Complete Visual Privacy
Solid panels block 100% of sightlines from neighbors, streets, and passersby. Create your own private outdoor sanctuary for relaxing, entertaining, and family time. Enjoy your pool, hot tub, or patio without feeling watched. Board-on-board and shadowbox styles eliminate gaps for total privacy. No more awkward encounters with neighbors while you're trying to relax in your backyard.
Wind & Noise Reduction
Solid fence panels act as windbreaks, reducing wind speeds in your yard by up to 50%. Creates more comfortable outdoor living spaces less affected by breezes. Reduces noise from traffic, neighbors, and street activity by 5-10 decibels—a noticeable difference. Shadowbox design allows some airflow while still providing privacy and noise buffering.
Increased Property Value
Quality privacy fencing increases home value by 5-15% in many markets. Adds significant curb appeal and perceived property boundaries. Buyers recognize the value of privacy, especially in dense suburban neighborhoods. Well-maintained cedar or vinyl privacy fences can return 50-75% of installation cost at resale. Makes yards more functional and desirable for outdoor living.
Perfect for Pets & Children
Solid panels prevent dogs from seeing and barking at passersby, reducing fence aggression. 6-foot height contains even athletic dogs and jumping breeds. Gives children safe, enclosed play space where parents can supervise without constant worry. Blocks visibility of pets from dog nappers or people who might harass them through fence.
Versatile Design Options
Choose from natural wood (cedar/pine), maintenance-free vinyl, or eco-friendly composite materials. Select from multiple styles: board-on-board (no gaps), shadowbox (airflow with privacy), horizontal slat (modern), or traditional picket top. Stain or paint wood any color to match your home. Add decorative post caps, lattice tops, or custom gates for personalized aesthetic.
