A white wood picket fence is the quintessential symbol of a happy family home. It evokes a sense of warmth, wonder, and welcome. Beyond their obvious aesthetic appeal, picket fences have many uses. From flowerbed protectors to privacy enhancers, these versatile fences blend beauty with functionality.

Here are a few of the many benefits of a wood picket fence:

• Aesthetic appeal: Wood picket fences add instant charm and character to your property. Its classic look complements most architecture styles, from traditional to contemporary. 
• Added property value: Picket fences can enhance curb appeal and increase market value. The warm, inviting feeling it invokes may appeal to potential buyers.
• Sustainability: Wood is a renewable resource, making it an environmentally friendly fencing choice. Additionally, biodegradable wood decomposes over time, avoiding sitting in a landfill. 
• Privacy and security: These fences provide a degree of security and can also help keep children and pets safe in the yard. For extra privacy, choose closer-spaced wood fence pickets. 
• Durability: Wood species matters when it comes to the durability of your picket fence. We use only high-quality cedar for our fences. Cedar contains oils that resist rot, decay, and insects. Pre-staining boosts the cedar's natural weather resistance. 
• Customization: Design your fence to complement your style and home. Choose the height, picket style, and post caps to create a unique design. You can paint your wood picket fence white or let the cedar's rich tones shine. 

A little TLC can maintain your wood picket fence's natural beauty. Regular inspection, cleaning, staining, and sealing help extend its lifespan and ensure it stays strong.

Picket fences have a range of applications, from practical to decorative. How you use it depends on your needs and imagination. Here are some ideas.

Picket fences define property lines without creating a visual barrier. Their open design helps maintain a welcoming and neighborly feel. Your picket fence contributes to neighborhood beauty, inviting a sense of community.

A wooden picket fence can form a barrier to keep kids and pets contained. It can prevent them from wandering into the street or neighboring properties, if the spaces between the pickets are narrow enough to stop small pets or children from squeezing through.

Wood picket fences are a popular garden choice for decorative and practical purposes. Use them to:

• Frame flower beds: A low picket fence adds a neat, organized look to your garden. Well-placed fences can showcase your prized purple coneflower and wild bergamot.
• Support climbing plants: A picket fence, with the addition of a trellis, gives climbing plants like roses and ivy space to grow.
• Protect plants: Fencing can shield flowers, vegetables, and other plants from foot traffic or curious pets.
• Create specific garden spaces: Picket fences can divide your yard into distinct areas. For example, you could create a play area for the kids or a work zone for gardening tasks.
