top fencing trends in 2025

Here are some current and emerging fencing trends that continue to be popular in 2025:

• Sustainable materials: In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards using sustainable and eco-friendly materials in fencing. Reclaimed wood, and recycled plastic or composite fencing are some popular options that provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional wood and metal fencing.

 

• Minimalist design: Minimalist fence designs are becoming increasingly popular, with a focus on simplicity and clean lines. This trend is particularly evident in modern and contemporary architecture, where fences are designed to blend in with the overall aesthetic of the building.

 

• Decorative fencing: Decorative fencing is a trend that has been around for a while, but it continues to evolve. Ornate designs, decorative metalwork, and intricate patterns are just a few examples of the types of decorative fencing that are growing in popularity.

 

• Privacy fencing: With more people spending time at home, privacy fencing is becoming increasingly important. Traditional wood and vinyl privacy fences are still popular, but there is also a trend towards using natural materials such as hedges that can complement privacy barriers.

Recent Project

At Milton Fence, we recently worked with a homeowner inspired by 2025’s fencing trends, focusing on sustainability and clean, modern design. With Milton’s rapid growth—our town now has more than 130,000 residents—we’ve seen a strong demand for eco-friendly options that match the community’s forward-thinking character. This homeowner, located near the scenic Kelso Conservation Area, wanted a fence that balanced privacy with a minimalist style. We recommended sustainable materials like composite fencing, which is made from recycled wood and plastics, offering both durability and reduced environmental impact. For design, we incorporated sleek horizontal slats to align with the growing trend of minimalist privacy fences. The result was a modern, long-lasting solution that not only enhanced their backyard but also reflected Milton’s commitment to sustainability and contemporary living.
