5 Great Summer Fencing Trends Shaping Colorado Backyards in 2025

Fencing is important. As summer settles into Colorado, homeowners are stepping outside with a fresh focus on outdoor living. And one of the first things many notice? The fence. No longer just a boundary, today’s fence plays a major role in curb appeal, backyard comfort, and long-term property value.

At Fence Consulting Services, we’ve been watching the trends—and helping lead them. Based on what we’re seeing across the Front Range, here are five fencing trends shaping Denver and Colorado Springs properties this summer:

The Classic – Natural Wood
Homeowners are drawn to the timeless feel of cedar and redwood, especially when paired with clean lines and modern layouts. Pre-stained options offer extra UV protection and a more finished look from day one, while also reducing maintenance down the line. Wooden fences can be the perfect combination of classic look and feel plus durability if installed the right way!
Tip: Want to preserve that “just-installed” look? Ask us about staining and sealing that defends against fading and warping!

On the Rise – Composite Fencing
Homeowners looking for low-maintenance, long-lasting options are turning to composite materials like Trex and SimTek. These fences offer the look of wood or stone without the upkeep—no staining, no warping, no splinters. They’re also great for sound reduction and privacy, making them ideal for urban and suburban yards alike.
Bonus: Composite fences hold up extremely well in Colorado’s dry climate, offering years of durability with minimal care.

HOA-Friendly Designs with Character
HOA regulations don’t have to limit creativity. In fact, we’re seeing more communities open to design-forward fencing—so long as guidelines are respected. From post caps and decorative top rails to alternating board layouts, there are plenty of ways to add visual interest while staying compliant.
Unsure whether a contractor like Fence Consulting Services understands HOA community guidelines? We do! We’ll review your community’s fencing rules and help you select a style that checks every box.

Wind-Resistant Builds for Colorado’s Climate
Let’s be real—Colorado’s wind can be brutal. That’s why more clients are requesting fence designs that prioritize strength and structural integrity. From deeper-set posts and reinforced corners to heavier pickets and tighter rail spacing, small adjustments can make a big difference in durability.
We design fences for your zip code—not just your style preferences—so they stand strong through every season.

Durability-First Materials
Today’s homeowners are thinking long-term—and that starts with the materials. Stained cedar, composite material, and powder-coated steel are popular picks for a reason: they balance beauty, cost-efficiency, and weather resistance. We help clients understand the pros and cons of each, so they get a fence that fits their needs—not just their budget.
Our team works directly with trusted suppliers to ensure every install uses top-tier materials that stand the test of time.
