Trying to decide on what type of fence is best for your Reston, VA home? Use these tips and tricks from our fencing professionals to make the decision a bit easier, and maybe save some headaches down-the-line as well.

Select the right fence installation company for your Springfield, VA home fencing needs.

Rather than playing a game of press your luck, select a contractor that specializes in the type of fence you want installed. If you are looking for an ornamental steel fence, choose a contractor that has extensive experience in that particular area of fencing.

Determine what you need to keep in – or out of – your property.

If the answer to that question is nothing, then your Springfield, VA home may be well suited for a small, decorative vinyl fence. However, if you have a 150-pound dog that needs to be kept out of the neighbors flower garden, then you will probably be better suited for a chain link fence or wooden privacy fence.

Consider the activities of your Reston, VA property and what you want to protect from view.

Again, this goes along with the previous tip, in determining the use of the fence. For example, if you have small children who will regularly play in the backyard, you may want a tall, wood privacy fence to keep prying (and sometimes dangerous) eyes away from them.

Think about your budget.

Fencing for your Northern Virginia home is available in nearly every price point, so determining your budget before you begin fence shopping is the best possible solution. Whether you want to invest in the top-of-the-line, electronically controlled wrought iron fence and gate system, or are looking for function over form and a chain link fence will suffice, knowing this early in the planning stages will make the process run more smoothly.
