Is your fence party-ready, or in desperate need of a fence facelift for Memorial Day?
Step One: Give It the Once-Over (Then Maybe Twice)
You wouldn’t invite friends over without checking the state of your guest bathroom — so don’t invite the neighborhood without giving your fence a once-over. Is it leaning like it had a rough night on Sixth Street? Missing a few pickets? Screws rattling like they’re trying to escape? That’s your sign.
Tip: If it sways in the wind, it’s not rustic—it’s risky.
Step Two: Clean Like Company’s Coming
Whether you’ve got cedar, pine, or a composite hybrid, your fence needs a solid clean to look its best. Pressure washing? Sure, just don’t peel it down to nothing. A gentle power wash and a scrub down with a mild detergent goes a long way toward erasing mold, grime, and pollen build-up.
Want a natural boost? A vinegar solution or oxygen bleach mix gets bonus points — and won’t destroy your flower beds. (Looking at you, bleach lovers.)
Step Three: Touch Up That Stain or Paint
A fresh coat of stain or paint doesn’t just make your fence look new — it protects it from UV damage, humidity, and barbecue smoke. If your fence hasn’t been stained in a few Texas summers, it’s time. Go for something timeless like a warm cedar tone, or trendy like slate gray. Just don’t go full neon. Please.
Need inspo? Drive through Sun City Georgetown or Berry Creek — those residents know their stain game.
Step Four: Tighten Up & Replace
Hammer in those loose nails. Replace warped or cracked boards. If a whole section’s trying to moonwalk off the property, let’s talk about replacing it before your Memorial Day brisket turns into a neighborhood escape room.
Pro tip: If you hear the fence creak every time someone walks by, it’s auditioning for a horror movie. Intervene.
Step Five: Accessorize Like a Pro
Want to impress your guests? String lights, hanging planters, and even a privacy screen made of climbing vines can dress up your fence like it’s headed to a Hill Country wedding. Add deck-friendly yard signs from our Decked Out Collection and your outdoor space is officially celebration-ready.
Swing by Sweet Eats Fruit Farm for hanging planters and outdoor décor to keep it local and fabulous.
Final Thought: Your Fence = Your Party’s First Impression
You wouldn’t show up to a cookout in cargo shorts and socks with sandals (…right?). Don’t let your fence do the same. A clean, updated, secure fence says: “Welcome to my backyard paradise — please enjoy a cold one and the shade of my impeccable outdoor taste.”
