Thomas Fence serving Prince Georges County brings you …Did you know? Fence Fact
Fences can provide privacy and transform backyards into calming places to relax and unwind. But fences also may lead to disputes with neighbors if installation is not carried out with etiquette. Always place the fence within your property lines, which can be determined by examining a land survey for your home. Inform your neighbors of your intention to erect a fence, and give any concerns they might have substantial consideration. Face the more aesthetically appealing side of the fence outward to the street and to neighbors’ yards. In addition, maintain the fence once it is installed so it does not become a neighborhood eyesore that irks your neighbors.
When installing a fence between properties, homeowners often wonder about the proper placement of the more visually appealing side. Should it face their own yard, or should it face their neighbor's yard? In this article, we will explore the considerations and etiquette surrounding fence placement, helping homeowners navigate this common dilemma while maintaining positive neighborly relations.
While there may not be a strict rule dictating whether the more appealing side of a fence should face your neighbor's yard, it is generally considered neighborly and aesthetically pleasing to do so. However, factors such as privacy, security, and shared agreements should also be taken into account. Open communication, mutual understanding, and respect for each other's preferences are key to maintaining positive relationships with your neighbors while making decisions about fence placement.
