When you hear the term white picket fence it can conjure up thoughts and images of an all American family from the 50’s living in a big house with 2.5 children and a dog. Picket fences are however still standing strong and today they are still one of the most popular options for fencing a front garden. 

So why should you choose picket fencing for your front garden?

Picket fencing is a great way to add a layer of security to your garden whilst ensuring it looks aesthetically pleasing. You no longer need to add a 6 foot closed fence around your front garden to make it safe.

Improves the curb appeal of your house

First impressions are vital so make sure that you are giving across the right one starting with the fence. We have a range of fences available for your front and back gardens however the most popular one at the moment is picket fencing.

Cost effective
