Always place your fence with the front facing your neighbor! Here’s why

Check local building codes before starting to ensure compliance with rules on height, materials, and direction.

Talk to your neighbor before construction begins. Friendly communication can avoid misunderstandings later.

Consider installing a double-sided fence that looks finished on both sides if you want a uniform appearance.

Hire professionals if you’re unsure about the process — mistakes can be expensive to fix later.

Maintain the fence properly, including the side facing your neighbor, to reflect your responsibility as a homeowner.
