Fencing

Whether used for home privacy, aesthetics or safety, it's important that your fence be correctly designed and installed. All-too-often home and business owners are victimized by unscrupulous contractors who take the cheapest way out and create problems in the future. You need professionals dedicated to a high standard of service like the staff at Magnolia Landscapes Outdoor Living and our fencing partners.

Our experienced installation crews are ready to take care of your needs with training, technology, equipment and tools to get the job done right. Our ornamental iron team can also create custom welded gates and a variety of other specialty applications.

Just as important as the fence itself, the materials you use can change according to your needs, the purpose of the fence, and what kind of investment you’re looking to make. The materials we offer include:

Wood fencing is the favorite choice for homeowners all across the United States, wood is the perfect choice for those seeking privacy. The height of a wood fence means you get plenty of seclusion at an affordable price. Wood fences take a bit of maintenance, but not so much that they’ll drive you nuts. Done right, a wood fence is going to outlast the home it surrounds—plus, it’s cheaper to install than vinyl fencing!

Vinyl or PVC fencing is an interesting fusion of wood and plastics. These fences are actually PVC sleeves over a wood picket, and as a result, are a little on the less durable side, but a lot more on the less expensive side. PVC fences aren’t particularly strong, but many homeowners choose them for a clean, simple, and attractive aesthetic.

Aluminum fencing is a popular choice for many homeowners. It’s not quite the best option if your aim is security, but in sheer aesthetics and durability, you’d be hard-pressed to find better.

Wrought iron is gorgeous and unique, this is the right choice for homeowners looking for something outside of the box. A wrought iron fence will last a lifetime with proper care and upkeep. Our own welder can create most any design you want.

Chain link is the king of low-cost utility, chain link and is perfect for homes on a budget or large commercial applications. It might not be the prettiest solution, but chain link is very durable and will last for years with essentially no upkeep (besides keeping trees and other shrubbery from bending or warping it).

Increase Home Value

Good fences make good neighbors. Good neighbors respect one another's property. Good farmers, for example, maintain their fences to keep their livestock from wandering onto neighboring farms. This proverb appears in the poem “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost. And we build good fences.

Are fences and decks a good investment? Yes. In fact, fencing is one of the best ways to increase your home’s value. Not having a fence is among the biggest threats to your home’s resale value according to the MSN Real Estate website. As many realtors are fond of saying, a home without a fence and landscaping is just a house. So a fence is a perfect addition to any home.

An attractive fence can also be the foundation of an aesthetically pleasing, comprehensive landscape design. They go together.

Outdoor structures like decks, fire pits and pergolas can bring a lot of extra enjoyment and usable entertaining space to your home.

Backyard decks have replaced patios and front porches as the social centers of suburbia in the summer. Decks are elevated to catch summer breezes and to facilitate conversations with neighbors on their decks. Large enough for a table and grill, most decks are more versatile than front porches and provide privacy from street traffic.

The December 2016 Remodeling Impact Study by the National Association of REALTORS® and National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP), estimates costs and recovery values for 10 outdoor projects, including decks. In the NAR/NALP study, a new wood deck will recover 106 percent of its value when the house is sold. Estimated construction cost of the study was $9,450, and the estimated value a new deck adds to the house value at the time of sale was $10,000. A wood deck ranked third out of the 10 projects addressed by the study regarding cost recovery.
