Sometimes people may want to soften the look of their fence. One way to do this is to create a living fence. A living fence is a fence that has living plants growing on it in order to enhance the beauty, character, and color of the yard.
To soften the look of a fence, you can plant either annual or perennial vines along the length of the fence because the vines will grow up the fence, covering it with flowers and foliage. Plant vines that are attractive to you and that produce good scents and foliage. Most vines grow quickly, so once you get started, you will have a living fence in no time.
The cup and saucer vine, like its name describes, is a vine whose purple cup-looking flowers sit on green saucer-like bases. The flowers on this vine start to bloom in the summer and last until fall. This is a great vine to use for a living fence because it attaches itself to the fence with branched tendrils that grow from the ends of the leaf stalks. Sweet pea vines are also a magnificent choice for a living fence because these are flowering vines with fragrant flowers. They begin to bloom in the summer in shades of blue, lavender, red, and salmon pink.

Many people know what they want with a fence. Privacy, defined lawn borders, security, and dependability. And most companies cater to these wants by providing pre-fab, wooden, aluminum, and PVC fencing that meets all requirements adequately. But sometimes, people want to take their fencing to the next level, and how else? By making it completely custom. Custom fencing gives you the opportunity to create the ultimate backyard aesthetic, bring out the best of your property, or even make yourself standout from the doldrums of cookie-cutter, white-picket fence monotony of so many neighborhoods.
So what are some unique, custom fences like? They’re obviously all going to be different, here are a few:

What otherwise seems like a typical white picket fence is actually residential, tranquil bliss with the introduction of a beautiful gate system.

Imagine a perfect American suburban neighborhood in the 1960s. Kids run and play in the yard. A Pontiac GTO drives by a bit too fast. A dog barks as it chases a squirrel. A church bell rings on Sunday morning. And what else can be seen in this neighborhood? – a white picket fence!
The picket fence is a classic type of fence that has been popular in America since the 17th century and is still vastly popular today. This famous style of fencing can be distinguished from other styles because it has short, evenly spaced vertical boards (called pickets) with pointed tops. Usually a picket fence is made of wood, or a plastic material that resembles wood, and painted white. This is where we get the term “white picket fence”.
The white picket fence has become an icon in America. It is the symbol of the ideal middle-class suburban life, which includes having a nice house, a loving family, a dog, and a comfortable standard of living. This comes from the fact that homes in quiet, middle-class neighborhoods often have a garden, which is usually bordered by a picket fence. Many people associate the white picket fence with property ownership and the embodiment of the “American dream”.
The picket fence is more than just a way to divide land; it has become an icon in American culture.

“Keeping up with the Joneses” is a popular American expression that originated in 1913 when a comic strip, “Keep Up With The Joneses” was published in the New York Globe. The strip, created by cartoonist Arthur R. “Pop” Momand, ran in American newspapers for almost thirty years and was adapted into several books, films, and musicals. In the comic strip, the “Joneses” were the neighbors of the strip’s main characters. The “Joneses” were spoken of and referred to, but never actually seen in the comic strip. 

Therefore, the phrase “keeping up with the Joneses” became a common phrase which earned the meaning: striving to match your neighbor in spending and social standing. Examples of this include competing with your peers to buy the fastest car, biggest flat-screen TV, newest phone, most expensive home, or even the nicest looking fence!
Here at Paramount Fencing, we encourage you not to play “keep up with the Joneses”, but to become the “Joneses” instead. Why be like everyone else? Be different! Be the house with the custom built fence that your neighbors are jealous of. Orlando custom fencing is a great way to compliment the architecture of your Orlando home and bring your landscaping to life. Give us a call and let the power of Paramount start creating for you.
