Decorative Fencing in Forsyth County
A fence that's more about character than containment — defining a garden bed, framing a front yard, or just adding a finished look to your property.
Decorative fencing is usually shorter and more open than a privacy fence, meant to be seen rather than to block a view. It's a popular way to frame a front yard, edge a garden or flower bed, or add a finishing touch along a walkway or porch.
Because it's not doing heavy-duty containment work, decorative fencing gives more room to play with style — picket tops, lattice accents, and scalloped rail lines are all common ways homeowners dress up an otherwise plain boundary line.
We can install it as a standalone accent or combine it with a taller privacy or containment fence elsewhere on the property, so the front of the house gets a different look than the backyard.

Styles & Details
Picket Style
The classic front-yard look — evenly spaced vertical boards with pointed, flat, or rounded tops, typically 3 to 4 feet tall.
Lattice-Top Accents
A lattice panel added above a shorter picket or rail section, often used along a garden bed or as a decorative topper on a taller fence.
Scalloped Rail Lines
A gently curved top line between posts, giving a softer, more traditional look than a straight-topped fence.
Decorative Fence Questions
Can decorative fencing still keep pets or kids contained?
It depends on height and spacing — decorative fencing is generally shorter and more open than a containment-focused fence, so it works best as an accent rather than the primary barrier for pets or small kids. We can talk through what will and won't hold up for your needs.
Do you install decorative fencing with wood or vinyl?
Both — picket and lattice-top styles are available in either material, and we'll walk you through the look and upkeep trade-offs of each.
Can decorative fencing be combined with a taller fence elsewhere on my property?
Yes, this is common. Many homeowners use a shorter decorative style up front and a taller privacy or containment fence in the backyard, and we're glad to plan both as one project.
