Gothic-Top Cedar Fencing in Midway, KY

A fence that works with the garden

Rio Grande Fence Company installed Gothic-top cedar fencing at this Midway, Kentucky property, using 4- and 6-foot sections within the project. The photographs show a boundary fitted around a brick home, planted beds and walking routes. Pointed picket tops give the fence a recognizable profile, while the natural wood sits comfortably beside the garden.

The work is a useful example of choosing more than one fence height for a property. A lower section can define a garden without closing off the view; a taller section can provide more separation where the layout calls for it. The right combination starts with how each part of the yard is used.

Gate placement is part of the design

Several views show pedestrian gates at the house and garden entrances. These openings matter as much as the fence runs: they determine how people carry tools, move between outdoor spaces and reach planting beds. The inside gate photograph also shows the bracing and supporting rails that form part of the finished assembly.

For a similar project, discuss the clear opening needed for everyday use and occasional maintenance equipment. Gate swing, nearby steps, planting and access to equipment beside the house should all be considered before posts are set.

What Gothic-top cedar offers

Cedar pickets bring wood texture and a decorative top to a residential boundary. Spaced pickets retain sightlines and airflow, so this style is better understood as a defined edge than a solid privacy screen. Height and spacing should be selected around the property’s actual needs.

Wood also benefits from ongoing care. Keep soil and dense vegetation from building up against the fence, inspect fasteners and gate operation, and discuss an appropriate finish and maintenance plan for the exposure at your property.

Planning a fence in Midway

Begin with the areas you want to separate, the views you want to keep and the routes that must remain convenient. Confirm the boundary and any applicable project requirements before installation. Rio Grande can help turn those priorities into a fence and gate layout suited to your home.
