This aluminum fence for a modern home in Midlothian encloses the yard of a newly built house in a new neighborhood. The job called for solid security, but the fence also had to suit the clean, contemporary look of the house. It was another aluminum fencing project in Midlothian for our crew, and one with a lot of ground to cover.
Modern Home Aluminum Fence Project Highlights
A Long Fence Line for a New-Build Lot
The lot sits on a street in a new subdivision, with fresh construction across the road. So the fence runs along the street side of the yard, follows a wooded rear line of tall pines, and ties back into the house. That layout closes off the yard without walling it in, and the black aluminum fence stays open to the neighborhood.
Installed Before the Lawn Went In
When we set the posts, the yard was still bare, freshly graded soil with straw spread across it. That is common on a new build, and it is often the easiest time to install a fence, since there is no finished lawn or landscaping to protect. Potted shrubs sat by the house, ready for planting inside the new line.
Powder-Coated Aluminum That Holds Up
We used powder-coated aluminum fencing because it needs very little maintenance. The Aluminum Association describes aluminum as lightweight, strong and corrosion resistant, so this fence won’t rust the way bare steel can. That means one less chore for the homeowners on a brand-new property, with no painting or sealing to schedule.
Clean Lines and a Black Finish
This flat-top modern aluminum fence has simple vertical pickets and straight rails, so it works with the contemporary architecture of the house. Black also tends to recede against lawn and trees. As a result, the fence frames the yard instead of dominating it, even along the long street run that neighbors see every day. If you’re weighing materials, our breakdown of the pros and cons of each fence type shows how aluminum compares.
Building New? Plan Your Aluminum Fence Early
If you’re building a home, plan the fence while the yard is still bare. Check any HOA rules and your plat for easements before the layout is final. Then decide where you’ll need gates for mowers and trash cans. Our post on installing a new fence in an HOA covers what to check first.
