5 Reasons You Should Install Your Fence in the Winter

Is it time to replace your old, weathered fence? Not sure if it’s better to do this in the winter or wait until spring? Despite the cold, winter can be the ideal time to install a fence. Choosing this time of year has many benefits that can help reduce costs and save time. To show you why the colder months are the perfect time to do it, here are some reasons why you should install your fence in the winter.

Faster Process

Towards the end of fall and beginning of winter, many fencing companies are less busy, meaning you have more time on your hands. Unlike the warmer months, you don’t have to worry about missing the dates and times you want. Since there is less competition in the winter, the entire process speeds up, including ordering materials, delivering them, and building a team. When spring comes, you can sit back and enjoy your garden while everyone else is just starting to plan their fence.

It Can be Cheaper

Many of us like to save a little money every now and then. As with many off-season purchases, installing a fence in the winter can be less expensive than in the warmer months. Since demand is lower in cold weather, material costs are generally cheaper.

Foster City Codes and Permits

It’s also easier to obtain permits, check city regulations and run underground cables along the fence during the colder months because offices are less crowded than in the summer, when most people are trying to complete their construction projects. This ensures that the installation is quick and any obstacles in the process can be resolved more quickly.

Easier on Your Landscape

During the fall and winter months, lawns and gardens begin to die back and remain dormant until spring. This protects them from damage, especially through the construction of fences. This also allows crew members to move around the site more easily without damaging vegetation. Homeowners don’t have to worry as much about the impact of the machinery used during the construction process on their lawn, which can reduce landscape repair costs later. This also means that in the spring you will be ready to replant and prepare the garden instead of having to wait for your fence to be installed.

Contractors Work Better in Cooler Months

Without the high heat and humidity, fence builders work much better in the winter because they can bundle up more easily. This helps them focus on the work and work more efficiently to get it done faster.

You Can Get More Privacy

Your yard may offer less privacy in the winter if your trees and shrubs lose their leaves. A new fence can solve this problem. Installing in the winter is especially helpful because you can see the gaps where your yard is exposed to prying eyes. You can use these visible gaps as reference points to determine where you might want to install a taller or less transparent fence.

You Can Enjoy Your Yard in the Summer

Winter can be the ideal time to install your fence since you’ll likely spend most of your time indoors warm and toasty. Your activities will not be interrupted, and once the fence is installed and dusted, you can go outside in the summer and fully enjoy the warmer months. You don’t have to put your summer weekend plans on hold while you wait for the work to be completed. You can relax and enjoy your outdoor space and the sun as soon as it shines!
