For years wood fences have turned houses into homes by adding an inviting touch. Looking to complete your yard or garden with a wood fence that’s all your own? Bring your perfect wood fence to light with inspiration from some of our recent favorite design ideas: Whether you want a bold modern statement or a fresh spin on a classic look, these five wood fence styles can help you picture what’s possible for your Maryland or Virginia yard.
The Modern Horizontal Wood Fence
There are many ways to add your own twist on this modern trend. We love the different heights and dimensions of these fences. Running the boards horizontally rather than vertically gives the fence a clean, contemporary line, and varying the plank widths adds subtle visual interest without extra materials.
The House Number Fence
Try adding your house number to your modern horizontal wood fence for a unique style in your front yard! It’s a small detail that doubles as curb appeal and practical wayfinding, making your home easier to spot while tying the fence into your exterior design.
The Cityscape Fence
Who says a fence has to be perfect? We love this cityscape look with different sizes of wood panels! Staggering the panel heights creates a skyline-style silhouette that works especially well as a privacy fence, since the varied tops draw the eye upward.
The Rock Garden Fence
We love this fence for a garden or back patio! Add rocks held in by metal netting for an attention-grabbing look. Pairing wood framing with stone or gravel infill blends structure and landscaping, making it a natural fit alongside garden beds and outdoor living spaces.
A Twist on the Traditional Wood Fence
Everyone loves a white picket fence! Take your own spin on this traditional favorite by adding birdhouses and geometric shapes. Small custom touches like these let you keep the timeless charm of a picket fence while making it feel personal rather than off-the-shelf.
Whichever style you choose, a wood fence will look its best with occasional cleaning, staining, and sealing to protect it from moisture and UV fading over the years.
