Height, layout, and placement decide how well a wood fence works for your yard. Plan for privacy and curb appeal together.

Decide what the fence needs to do

A privacy fence closes a yard from view. A low fence defines a boundary or keeps pets and kids in the yard. Knowing the job first keeps the design honest.

Walk the property line and note gates, slopes, and sight lines. Fences follow the ground, so grade changes affect how a line of posts reads from the street.

Placement and layout matter as much as the wood

Confirm where your property line runs before posts go in the ground, and check whether your neighborhood has guidelines you need to follow rather than assuming.

Gate placement should match how you actually use the yard: mower paths, trash day, and side-yard access are worth thinking through before the layout is set.
