Summer is almost officially here and having the ability to enjoy the time spent in your backyard to the fullest is so important. One way to elevate any backyard and bring it to the next level is by adding a fence. At Sierra Structures, we have seen the benefits of adding a fence firsthand and want to help others reap these rewards as well.

Here are four benefits of adding a fence to your yard this summer:

1. Increased privacy: Depending on the style of fence chosen, your neighbors will be having a difficult time seeing into your backyard after installed. This is perfect especially for the summer months. It can be somewhat awkward when hanging outside and your neighbors can see directly into your backyard from their living room. The added privacy takes away from that awkwardness and allows the space to be truly enjoyed for all its purposes.

2. Keep pets or children contained: Whether it is children or pets, no one wants to have to worry about them running out of the backyard and potentially getting hurt in the process. Getting a fence installed is a practical and stylish solution for this. Some homeowner’s associations already have rules in place about fencing for pets, so checking those too can be beneficial for planning to build.

3. Helps out plants: In the summer, getting the beautiful backyard of your dreams can be even more achievable by adding a fence. Not only does a fence help to keep out some unwanted pests from coming into the yard, but it also gives plants a defined location. This defined location can help with the stabilization of the plant and its roots, leading to healthier vegetation overall.

4. Security: Without a fence, it can be easy for people and animals to enter your property. Adding that fence gives that added security and protection to any yard. This is especially important for those who live in isolated areas that might be prone to more wildlife or unwanted visitors.
