Every property has a different reason for fencing. Here's the type we typically point people toward for each.
Fence Pairings That Work Well Together
A single fence type doesn't always have to do everything. These combinations solve more of the property at once.
Wood Privacy Back + Aluminum Front
Solid wood privacy where you need it most, with an open aluminum fence up front that doesn't block the view of the house.
Chain Link Utility Yard + Wrought Iron Entrance
Budget-friendly chain link around a side or utility yard, paired with a wrought iron section at the main entrance for curb appeal.
Steel Perimeter + Automatic Gate
A steel perimeter fence paired with an automatic gate at the driveway for controlled, hands-free access.
What Actually Changes Between Fence Types
The material you pick affects more than looks. Here's what actually shifts, and what we walk every customer through.
Climate & Weather
New Orleans humidity, heat, and storm season affect how different materials hold up over time. Some fare much better than others.
Maintenance Tolerance
Wood needs the occasional stain or seal to hold up. Vinyl and aluminum need almost none.
Privacy vs Visibility
Solid wood and vinyl fully close off a yard. Chain link, aluminum, and wrought iron stay open.
Budget & Lifespan
Upfront cost and how many years a fence lasts don't always move together. We'll walk you through both before you decide.
