My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Do white fences make a yard look smaller or larger?

10 years ago

I live in a row home. My husband wants to order a white privacy fence. I always thought white would make our small yard look even smaller. Any advice would be great! thanks

    Can you add a picture and tell us where you are? I think it would depend on the views, plantings, and what is the norm for your area.
