Advice on Garden Fence Placement

In many applications, from landscaping to gardening, a border fence is necessary to protect highly-valued plants, shrubs, or trees from trampling, pets, invasive animals, and other damage. Garden fences may be just a foot or two high, or four to six feet tall depending on the substance and size of the garden. Garden fences often attach to the side of a building such as a barn or shed, as these are logical and common places for a garden.

Placement of the fence also depends on what the garden is used for.

  • in a traditional garden, at least one to two feet of space between the fence and the first row of plants may be necessary to facilitate ease of watering, weeding, and other garden chores.
  • In addition, you may not want the fence interfering or altering the growth of the plants and the fence should be far enough away so that animals cannot lean over and eat first row of vegetables, fruit, or other fare.
  • Fences surrounding aesthetic plants may be placed quite close to the actual plant growth.
  • In many cases, it is considered attractive if bushes and other landscape plants intertwine with border fencing.

Here is what has been said about our Fencing Contractors:

I would like to say a few words of praise concerning Mark with Pyne Construction. Mark Pyne came through for us when no one else would. We were in a situation where we needed to sell my mothers home and had a bundle of construction issues that most contractors couldn't bother with. He not only took the work on but gave us Top Notch quality to boot. I would not hesitate to work with him again and I recommend him to anyone who has a project that requires quality and prompt attention.

This is just a quick note to thank you for your excellent work on my new bathroom. The custom shower is exactly what I wanted, and the remodeling utilizes the limited space perfectly. Again, thanks.
