Yes, privacy fences provide…privacy, but they also offer much more than that to a homeowner. As this insightful article on Estantres.org explains, there are many benefits to a privacy fence for your home:
1. Noise reduction. Privacy fences create a solid, or nearly solid, wall around your yard which will help deflect sound. If you live on a busy or noisy street, a privacy fence will provide some measure of quieting the din. If you already live in a relatively quiet area, you may find a solid fence will knock down the volume to almost nothing. You can’t cut out all noise, but choose a fence that has few gaps, such as a stockade style, and go for the tallest you can to get the most effective noise reduction.

How to Stain Your Wooden Fence
Nothing looks quite as nice as a wooden fence surrounding your yard. A wooden fence adds a certain element of elegance and aesthetic appeal that other fences simply cannot compete with. But whether you have an old fence that needs a little touch up, or you have just had a new fence installed, all wooden fences need to be annually stained. This will not only keep your fence looking its best, but it will also protect your fence from the harsh outdoor weather (rain, sun, snow, wind, etc.).

Christmas in April
Recently Hercules Fence had the privilege of giving back to the Prince George’s County community and partnering with a University of Maryland sponsored organization called “Christmas in April”. Christmas in April looks for opportunities to help residents on and around the University of Maryland campus with needed repairs to their home and properties to both beautify the County, and assist its residents. Hercules Fence was contacted by Christmas in April who inquired if we would be willing to donate a new fence and gate to the front of the home during the renovations. Not only did we jump at the opportunity, but provided upgraded vinyl coated material, a brand new gate, and fence in the backyard as well. We worked with several other area contractors to make the job happen over the course of one rainy weekend, and are proud that we were able to serve a community that has given so much to us through over 50 years of business. Hercules Fence is proud of its partnership with Christmas in April, the University of Maryland, and Prince George’s County.
