FAQ
Residential Privacy FAQ
How do I choose between privacy walls and fence extensions?
Fence extensions are often considered when an existing fence is structurally suitable and only additional height is needed. Privacy walls are commonly used when layout control or freestanding placement is required.
Will this replace all ongoing yard maintenance?
Artificial privacy systems usually reduce trimming and irrigation tasks, but periodic cleaning and hardware checks are still recommended.
Can these systems work on narrow side yards?
They can in many cases, but final layout depends on access, attachment conditions, and local setback requirements.
Is a site visit needed before pricing?
A site review is typically needed to confirm dimensions, substrate condition, and installation complexity before final scope and pricing.
