Fencing Around Trees: All You Need To Know

Trees do wonders for your yard, making it look more lively while also providing some much-needed shade. One concern that can come with trees is where they are planted because they can sometimes be obstructive. With trees in the wrong spots, it can be tough to install new features for your home. As an example, you could be trying to get a fence installed, but there are trees installed along your property line. Working around this problem is possible, however. Find out how you can install your fence around trees.

Curve the Fence Around the Tree(s)

When we say you can work around the problem, sometimes you can literally work AROUND it. Instead of having a straight fence, you can curve it so that it goes around your trees. You can either have the trees within the fencing or just outside of it, provided your property line makes it okay. Make sure you give your trees some extra space when installing your fence because the trees will need some extra space so they can grow.

If you are worried about going over your property line, talk to neighbors before you decide to install the fence. This way, they can work with you on a reasonable solution for the issue.

Fencing Between Your Trees

What do you do if your trees are exactly on your property line? One solution you could try is to have gaps in your fencing so your trees can fit between the posts. This provides your yard with a more unique and tidy appearance.

A drawback you’ll face is that the gaps where your trees are will limit the security your fence provides. You should also keep the age of your trees in mind because they might have the potential to grow even more, which makes your fence more of an obstruction. However, if you don’t expect your trees to grow anymore and you don’t need the extra security, having trees between the fence posts is a great idea.

Integrate The Trees into the Design of Your Fence

There’s nothing wrong with getting creative, and there are a few different design choices you could use to incorporate your trees into the design of the fence. You could have tree “windows” of sorts or go with a more trellis look if you prefer. Whatever design you pick should be suitable for the look of your yard.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
