Fences are one of the most important elements in residential landscape construction. They provide privacy, security, property definition, and visual structure while helping create comfortable outdoor living spaces.

Throughout Sonoma County, where homes are often built on relatively small lots, fences play a significant role in creating private and enjoyable gardens. At Details Landscape Art, we design and build custom fences that complement both the home and the surrounding landscape.
Why Fences Matter in Landscape Design
A well-designed fence does much more than define a property line.
They can:
- Create privacy from neighboring homes
- Improve security
- Frame outdoor living spaces
- Screen undesirable views
- Provide a backdrop for plants
- Enhance curb appeal
When incorporated into an overall landscape design, fences become an attractive architectural feature rather than simply a boundary.
Redwood Remain a Popular Material Choice
Redwood continues to be one of the most popular structure materials in Sonoma County.
Its natural beauty, durability, and resistance to decay make it well suited for Northern California landscapes.
We often build custom redwood fencing featuring:
- Solid wood construction
- Decorative caps
- Heavy-duty posts
- Multiple horizontal rails
- Premium-grade lumber
Thoughtful construction details help ensure they remain straight, attractive, and durable for many years.
Horizontal Fence Designs
Modern landscapes frequently incorporate horizontal fence designs.
Horizontal fences create a clean, contemporary appearance while maintaining privacy and security.
These structures work particularly well in:
- Contemporary gardens
- Modern homes
- Outdoor living spaces
- Small backyards
Horizontal redwood fencing can also make a space feel larger by emphasizing horizontal lines throughout the landscape.
Wire Fences for Open Views
In some situations, maintaining a view is just as important as creating a boundary.
Wire offers an excellent solution when homeowners want:
- Property definition
- Pet containment
- Garden protection
- Minimal visual obstruction
Woven wire and welded wire fencing blends naturally into the landscape while preserving views of surrounding gardens, vineyards, or open space.
Hog Wire Fences
Hog wire fences have become increasingly popular throughout Sonoma County.

They combine sturdy wire panels with redwood framing to create an attractive balance of openness and structure.
Benefits include:
- Modern appearance
- Durability
- Low maintenance
- Excellent visibility
- Strong pet containment
Because they are partially transparent, hog wire fences work especially well where homeowners want security without blocking attractive views.
Fences and Outdoor Living
A thoughtfully designed fence helps create outdoor rooms within the landscape.
Combined with:
- Arbors
- Patios
- Planting beds
- Landscape lighting
- Trees and shrubs
they provide the framework that makes outdoor living areas feel comfortable and inviting.
Privacy screening often allows homeowners to enjoy their outdoor spaces more fully throughout the year.
Quality Construction Matters
Like every landscape feature, fences perform best when built using quality materials and proper construction techniques.
Strong posts, adequate concrete footings, quality lumber, and careful craftsmanship all contribute to the longevity and appearance of the finished project.
A professionally built fence is an investment that improves both the beauty and functionality of the landscape.
