Eighty-three percent of Americans think having a yard is important and 90% of those with a yard think it is important that it is also well-maintained. Indeed, having a yard means that you have easy access to being able to spend time outdoors, host summer barbecues and parties, and plant a small garden of your own.
But, many houses don’t come with a well landscaped outdoor area. There are many reasons why it is beneficial and wise to invest in your outdoor area. Check out some ideas for things you could do to make your outdoor area truly amazing:
Fence It Up
A classy looking aluminum fence will improve the curb appeal of the home while also offering a return of investment around 65%, plus, it can make things much safer, especially when you consider kids and animals. If you have a pool, pond, or stream, this is even more important, because having a fence can mean a serious difference in safety. Plus, a nice fence can provide a great opportunity for privacy from pesky neighbors. According to U.S. zoning committee experts, 80 to 90% of the applications for fences are for stockade or privacy fences.
Indeed, fences are actually very attractive and can easily be made to be more so. Consider hanging vining plants from your fence, or training ivy to cover it completely. Fencing companies are experts in their crafts, so they will know just how to guarantee that you have the perfect fence for your purposes.
If you have a particularly artistic flair, why not make it a family effort to get together and paint a beautiful mural on your fence? Then the fence will truly become a part of your backyard and your property.
Develop a relationship with the local fence company to figure out exactly what will work for your backyard.
