Keep Pets and Children Out
Do you have pets or children who play outside around your garden? If so, you should certainly install a garden fence! Children, especially younger children, may wander into and onto your garden without realizing they're stepping on growing plants! Trampled seedlings rarely bounce back, which means all your hard work is down the drain. Dogs can step on your plants too, or dig up the soil and uproot them. Some dogs even like to eat growing flowers and veggies! A garden fence will protect against the smaller members of the family. Even the smallest fence can act as a deterrent and protect your garden. Taller fences are great at keeping children, dogs, and their toys out of your garden. A short fence will not stop a ball that's been thrown whereas a taller fence will. With a tall garden fence you won't get your plants crushed by balls, or have to worry about the child or dog trying to retrieve it.
Prevent Wildlife From Eating Your Plants
Garden enclosures protect your garden against more than just dogs. If you live near a wooded area, you may have problems with deer, squirrels, groundhogs, and more! All of these critters love your fruits and vegetables as much as you do! Certain flowers are delicacies for wildlife too. You wouldn't want your hard work to be eaten would you? Fencing in your garden can greatly reduce the chance of critters enjoying a late-night snack. Tall garden fences are best for keeping deer out because it requires more effort for them to get over it. Shorter garden enclosures can be all you need to deter the smaller critters, though they can be very determined. We always recommend getting a tall fence if any side of your garden leads into a wooded area or a field. This is where deer will most likely come from, so it's good to have at least that side of your garden protected.
Give Climbing Plants Something to Climb
Garden fences can quickly become displays if you have any type of climbing plant. Rather than relying on free-standing trellises, these plants can climb your fence to create a gorgeous picture in your yard. There's a wide assortment of climbing plants including flowers, vegetables, and fruits. Morning Glories, cucumbers, beans, peas, grapes, and so many other incredible plants will climb your fence and make your garden look fantastic! Ivy is also great if you want a dramatic and full effect in your garden. Plants will find a way to climb just about anything, but wood and iron fences tend to be best. Palisade Fence Company has both if you're looking for an installer!
Add to the Aesthetic
Last on our list is aesthetics. Garden enclosures clearly have many functional benefits, but they can also just be pretty to look at. You can create a "Secret Garden" feel by creating a completely separate area for your garden. This will create a nice place to sit and enjoy a sunny day outside. A smaller fence will provide a protective barrier around your garden without obscuring the view of your freshly-grown flowers and veggies. Simple fencing will actually enhance the appearance of your garden by providing a nice backdrop that will highlight the vibrant colors of your plants! You can choose a garden fence that fits in well with your yard. Palisade Fence Company specializes in wooden, vinyl, and iron fences. An iron fence is a great choice if you want to keep things out of your garden but still want to be able to see it clearly. Any type of fence will look great so choose what you like best.
