Keep Unwanted Summer Pests at Bay with a Privacy Fence

Summer is officially here! Time for backyard bbqs, harvesting your garden, and maybe a water fight or two with the kids. Or maybe relaxing on the patio with a good book, some music, or just some nice, warm rays is more your style? Whatever your preference, a privacy fence of at least six feet or taller is a key factor in allowing you to get the most enjoyment and relaxation value out of your yard without the annoying nuisance of summertime pests.

In addition to the clear benefits of increased freedom and protection, a privacy fence provides a barrier between your property and area pests, from neighborhood dogs and cats with a tendency to roam (and steal your prize tomatoes), to the insects and other pests making their homes in nearby thicketed brush and tall grass.  

Pets and other pests that tunnel under fences can be the most frustrating to attempt to control. If this is a concern for you, be sure to plan for fencing goes at least 12 inches beneath the surface. Always keep your lawn mowed and all bushes and shrubs trimmed and clean to prevent bugs and pests from setting up shop in your yard. If you have space between your fence and the ground, then you either need to use a weed trimmer to get rid of the high grass under your fence or use weed and grass killer every spring.

By now you’ve probably already begun to enjoy the spring & summer patio party season. And you may have been thinking about a few things you can do to add that special something extra to your own backyard, both to beautify it, and expand it’s functionality for all the warm weather entertaining in store. There are so many stunning possibilities available in transforming your backyard. One of our favorites is the addition of a pergola.

The pergola is a free-standing structure, sometimes synonymous with an arbor or gazebo. other times a pergola is designed to serve more as a cabana type of structure. They are typically independently standing, but may sometimes be an extension of a home or building or serve as protection for an open terrace.

The style of your pergola depends on a number of factors. Will you be using it as a deck or deck extension, or to add functionality to a poolside, garden, or to backyard patio entertaining? Do you want it to provide shelter from the sun, or do you prefer loose rafters that allow trailing vines and the sun to dart through? As far as materials go, do you like a traditional wooden design, or do you prefer something more creative, possibly incorporating sweeping canvas curtains? At Premier Fence and Decking Company, we will help you design a pergola perfectly suited to your unique taste.
