Placeholder ImageReasons You Might Install Plants Around Your Fence Line See how installing plants around your fence can be a great idea.

Spring is the perfect time of year to ponder how to decorate your outdoor landscape. While attention will often be directed towards people’s lawns and gardens in the spring, there is one other place that can benefit from a little polishing up: your fence.

A great way to decorate your fence is by installing a few extra plants around it. There are plants in all kinds of colors that will help your fencing look its best. Beyond appearances, there are other uses plants have when installed around your fence. See how installing plants around your fence can be a great idea.

Cover Up an Unappealing Fence

Covering up fencing you may not want exposed is a cheap yet effective way to help raise its aesthetic appeal. By decorating your fence with various flowers and other plants, you can mask any undesirable characteristics it may have. Hedges, bushes, and flowers are perfect for covering your fencing while also completely transforming the look of your yard.

One option that does well is lilly pilly. It’s a beautiful plant that comes in red and green colors. If you grow lines of them, they function very well as hedges. They grow to various heights and widths, so there’s sure to be one that suits the size of your fence.

Pencil pine trees are another avenue you can take. As long as you plant them at a far enough distance from each other, they will grow later to help cover your fence. As long as you prune properly, you can get whatever level of coverage you’re hoping to get.

Making Everything Cohesive

Some people may not want to conceal their fencing entirely. Instead, you may be trying to achieve a more cohesive look. With the right fence and variety of plants, you can achieve an appearance that is sure to catch people’s eyes. The plants best to achieve this look are usually between 3 and 5 feet in height.

There are azaleas, which bloom during spring and the start of summer. You can get azaleas in all types of colors and different sizes. If you trim them every season, they will stay at an appropriate size and look great.

Hydrangea bushes are another option, and they are perfect for anyone who enjoys flowering plants. These bushes have very large flowers that can be many colors, like white, purple, or blue.

Show Off Your Fencing

Some people are looking for ways to highlight their fencing, and sometimes it only takes a little bit of landscaping to make your fence truly stand out. Little shrubs can be the subtle touch your fencing needs to help it look its best. There are all kinds of shrubs you can try.

There’s lilyturf, which is an evergreen grass. These plants bloom between summer and autumn and they are the perfect plants for creating borders. It reaches heights of no more than one foot and widths no wider than two feet. Hosta is another option, which is low-maintenance and comes in a variety of colors.

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!!
