Wood Fencing

Hardscape Fences
Vinyl, Stone, and Wood Privacy Fences - The most common privacy fence is a hardscape model. These are wood, stone, or vinyl privacy fences that can be erected quickly.
These privacy fences are sturdy and easily maintained. They are also relatively easy to design around, and you can place whatever landscaping you choose in front of the fence to improve the beauty and curb appeal of your home.

Naturally, the amount of landscaping you plan to use affects the type of fence you will buy. Some fences are purchased for functionality, others for both form and function. v Heavy landscaping, for instance, can free you to buy a less expensive fence, assuming your landscaping will do aesthetically and functionally what the less expensive fence should be doing. But the benefit of a reliable hardscape fence is that it will protect your privacy in all seasons, rather than only when your greenery is full.

Softscape Fences
Using Landscaping for Privacy
Softscape fences are often called "living walls" because not only are they a mix of live plants, but they change their color, form and texture throughout the season.

Similarly, they can be pruned to take on various designs for any season, with flowers that bloom throughout the year. These "fences" are more often used either in conjunction with hardscape fences or in place of them when the property is large enough making privacy less of an issue.
