Fencing Trends 2025: What’s In and What’s Out

At Smith Fencing and Construction, we believe your fence should be as stylish and functional as the rest of your home. Just like interior design, fencing trends evolve, and 2025 is bringing some exciting changes to the way homeowners are defining their property lines.

What’s In:

1. Natural Wood Finishes

   Warm, rich tones are making a comeback. Homeowners are opting for stains that highlight the natural grain of cedar or redwood rather than covering it with opaque paint.

2. Mixed Materials

   Combining wood with metal accents—like black powder-coated steel frames—creates a modern, eye-catching contrast that’s as durable as it is stylish.

3. Horizontal Designs

   Sleek, horizontal planks are becoming a favorite for contemporary homes, giving a clean, architectural look that pairs beautifully with minimalist landscaping.

4. Eco-Friendly Options

   Sustainability is shaping fencing choices. Many are turning to reclaimed wood, composite materials, or locally sourced lumber to reduce environmental impact.

   
   

What’s Out:

1. One-Size-Fits-All Privacy Panels

   Generic, mass-produced panels are being replaced by custom designs that reflect personal style and complement the home’s exterior.

2. Overly Ornate Designs

   Heavy scrollwork and elaborate detailing are giving way to simpler, more streamlined styles that feel fresh and modern.

3. High-Maintenance Materials

   Homeowners are moving away from fencing that requires constant sanding, sealing, and repainting, opting instead for low-maintenance solutions that still look high-end.

   
   

If you’re ready to upgrade or replace your fence, the team at Smith Fencing and Construction can help you choose a design that’s on-trend, functional, and built to last. We take pride in crafting fences that make a statement, while standing the test of time.
