After all, fences are used for security, to keep your pets in the yard, and to provide peace of mind for when your kids are in the yard. Not only that, but the aesthetic appearance is important in all cases. The way a fence looks is one crucial aspect, and it all depends on the type of material you choose.
Cedar fencing is fantastic for durability and a more natural appearance. Many people choose cedar for their fence project due to its ability to stand up to harsh weather. In the Chicagoland area, expect to get a solid 15-20 years max out of a cedar fence. Cedar fence can be maintained with the use of our staining services or pressure washing, which we provide. We recommend to pressure wash your cedar fence every 2-3 years to keep it looking its best year round.
Vinyl fencing can be a great choice if you like the care-free option. It has very little maintenance required, however we do recommend a good power washing every few years due to the tendency to show mold/mildew in high-moisture areas. Also, the vinyl fence materials tend to not be very forgiving when it comes to rocks or landscaping companies doing their yardwork, often times chipping the fence material, or causing small holes. Vinyl fences come in a variety of options from picket fence, privacy fence, to semi-private fence.
