In the past few years we have seen front yard fences increase in popularity, which is really no surprise. Living in Southern California we all know how precious our privacy is and don’t want people walking through our yard. Whether it’s seeing some other dogs business on your lawn or suddenly missing some blooming flowers, people will think because it’s your front yard its a community garden. Building a front yard fence can be an easy way to keep unwanted attention out of your front yard! Other Fence Companies sometimes only build fences in the front up to 42 inches tall, however there is a loophole! Anything past 42 inches can be build so long as it is 50% visibility. So if you want shrubs, or a unique design from us, know that building a front yard fence over 42 inches is possible.
Need More Privacy?
Our neighbors recently purchased a trampoline for their kids. Perhaps to burn off some extra energy during the summer. Whatever the reason I couldn’t help but get distracted by the peeking faces going up and down. I reached out to Harwell Design and in just a few weeks our wall extension was going up. I know can relax in my backyard without the curious eyes of next-door bouncing up and down.
Harwell Design knows that privacy is important to every home. We offer many different designs that work with existing styles along with designs that could offer a great accent to your yard. A wall extension is an affordable option for gaining more privacy without rebuilding an entire fence or wall.

We Do More Than You Think!
Along with building fences and a gates for the residents of Los Angeles, we also build custom furniture. Everything from Planter boxes to Benches and Chairs, the creativity of our builders knows no bounds. Our owner, Arian Harwell grew up in New Mexico where at the young age of 12 he learned the trade of furniture building from his Father, Jake. To this day furniture building is a huge passion for both of them and the careful attention to detail is seen in all of their fences and gates. In the spare time they do have they enjoy pushing the boundaries and exploring new designs for functional furniture. Jake, our resident artist loves to create new pieces that inspire everyone here at Harwell to never forget our creative side.
Using Reclaimed Wood
Reclaimed wood has become extremely popular in the home design world. This great accent adds texture and great color to walls or furniture pieces. Working with fences we have been fortunate enough to tear out old fences. With this wood we have been able to sand and repurpose this wood, restoring it to something beautiful again. Not only do we work with this restored wood but we sell it as well at our warehouse and showroom. If anyone is interested in having us use reclaimed wood in their next project or purchasing it to have fun in your next DIY just send us an email with your project details.

Are You Planning to Refinish Your Deck?
Refinishing Your Deck
Here at Harwell Design we make sure every detail is patched, sanded and stained to perfection. Making sure your deck lasts is our number one goal when we do a refinishing job. Because there are some many reasons for a deck to lose it's spunk we make sure to inspect it for water damage, termites and all other necessary causes that would have damaged your deck. Making sure you have a secure structure in first order of business. Then we begin to patch holes, chips, fragments etc. We then sand the deck to a smooth finish and give it a coat of stain to bring the wood back to life.
Here are some examples of what we have done to decks in the past.
Refinishing your fence
Over time even the nicest fence will fade, chip and start to fall a part. But have no fear, we refinish fences to make them look brand-new again! Our experts go to work and make sure every inch is given a fresh new look so that by the time we are done you will think that we built an entirely new fence!
Sanding down any loose wood, cleaning the fence surface and putting putty in any damaged hole we make sure the surface is back to looking 100% new before applying a coat of stain on it. Here are some beautiful pictures of our results.
