Most recently, I had the fence that was around the pool removed. It was a real eye sore. The fencing was referred to as Stockade, and certainly was not good. The town of Southampton has a zoning
ordinance that you must have a fence around your pool All of my neighbors have fencing around their homes. There is not uniformity. People decide what they want based on budget and how much thought they want to put into their yards. Some have a green wire to blend in with the hedges and many people use Stockade fencing. Fencing is like the mailboxes in the
Hampton's, people don't really care much on how it looks.
I came to realize that you need Privet Hedges and you must double them up to look good. They are work, because you have to keep trimming them. I heard that they grow fast, but I still may want to get some that are larger. The larger they are the more privacy they will offer, and they will make the house look much more elegant.
