As a growing city in Washington of roughly 46,409 residents, Lacey sees steady demand for residential fencing — from backyard privacy and pet enclosures to curb-appeal upgrades and pool-safety fences.
Local fences here have to stand up to frequent rain, damp winters, and moss-friendly moisture. Properly treated cedar and vinyl resist rot and moisture far better than budget pressure-treated pine.
