Black Rock homes often feature classic picket fences for front yards, wood privacy fences for backyards, or sleek vinyl options for a clean, modern look. If you’re near St. Mary's or a busy street, you may notice weather-resistant materials like aluminum or wrought iron are preferred along with the very popular wall-top fence.​
3. Tailor to Your Home's Needs
Then consider your home's architectural style, placement on your land, and the purpose of your fence. Do you have a contemporary or historical home.
