Putting up fences around your residential property is perhaps one of the most worthwhile projects you can do to increase the curb appeal of your home. However, there are certain rules you must follow to ensure your new fence doesn’t cause any conflict between you and your neighbors. Handyman Connection® of Winter Park shares four fence etiquette rules to keep a wonderful yard and a harmonious relationship with your neighbors.
1. Observe and Maintain Boundaries
When putting up fences, you need to observe property line boundaries and stay within yours. Abiding by this simple rule can save you time and effort. A standard fence installation can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $4,000. Your property lines should be indicated in your property deed. Otherwise, you can order a new survey from a land surveyor. It’s standard practice to install your fences a foot inside your property lines.
You must also be aware of any height restrictions based on your local zoning regulations. The Homeowners’ Association might also have rules regarding what you can and can’t do with fences so make sure to review these restrictions before proceeding with your installation.
2. Let Your Neighbors Know
While you don’t have to make a grand announcement regarding the fence installation, it’s common courtesy to let your neighbors know you’re proceeding with the project. This is important especially if you plan on putting up the fence directly along the property line, as your neighbors would have to consent before you could do so.
3. Best Face Forward
The finished side of the fence should be the one facing your neighbors. You could order fences that look the same from both sides. However, these types of fences typically cost more than their standard counterparts.
4. Repair Immediately
Your fence is your responsibility. Repairing the damaged fence should always be a priority. After all, a deteriorating fence surrounding your home doesn’t exactly spell curb appeal.
