Suggestions for Planning Your Project
1. Continue Your Research
You may already have an idea of what you want and like and may have considered styles and materials. This is an important first step and you should continue to reseach the many models available by manufacturers and installers. You will find a wide array of materials, configurations, and finishes that will keep you entertained for hours online and in catalogs. While doing this research, it is also prudent to find local installers; visit their sites, read reviews, and confirm which groups are licenced, insured and accredited.

2. Survey Your Surroudings
Take a look around your area—are there common styles or materials that stand out? Stratford’s neighborhoods 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 the beach, you may notice weather-resistant materials like aluminum or vinyl are popular choices.​
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 modern or historical home. Do you border homes that may require you to consider greater privacy? Determining how much of your backdrop - or neighbors - you want to see is a primary consideration in fence design. Another item to contemplate is animals. Does your home back up to wooded areas? From deer fencing for wooded areas to customized designs for dog enclosures, your fence should reflect your lifestyle and needs.

Material & Style Trends in Stratford
Vinyl
Vinyl is a popular choice for Stratford homes due to its versatility and low maintenance. New matte finishes and expanded color options allow for customization that complements any home style. Victorian picket fences, ideal for front yards and coastal properties, remain a Stratford favorite.
Wood
When considering the wood species options in; cedar, spruce or pine, combined with dozens of models available, choices for your Stratford home are endless. Wood panels also provide the greatest flexibility to trim and contour the panels to hug land grades which are frequent for homes north of I-95. Wood fences are also commonly seen on wall tops around town with the "good neighbor", tongue and groove, cap and trim fence panel being the most preferred privacy wood panel in Stratford. The most common wood species choice in Stratford is white cedar which is durable and ages to a tanned silver over time.
Metals
For homeowners seeking a sleek, long-lasting solution, metal fences remain a go-to choice. Black aluminum picket fences are especially popular around homes with pools in Stratford and flat properties, while chain link and steel-core black vinyl-coated fences are trusted for dog enclosures. Near wooded areas, we offer deer fencing which, when installed correclty serves as dog fence and even meets pool-code. For a more decorative touch, we also offer mixed-media designs, combining wood posts with welded wire panels or black mesh for a modern look.
Bespoke
For homeowners seeking truly unique solutions, bespoke fencing offers limitless possibilities. These one-off designs are common to homes that have unique grading challenges, height requirements, or material requests that span from exotic hardwoods to stainless steel cable railing. Another bespoke design you will see in town are custom colored wood fence or railing sections that are solid-stained or two-tone finished.
