Meet Lilly Auchenbach: The Furry Heart of AKA The Fence Company

Posted by akafence on

Hey there, humans! It’s Lilly, the official mascot and ultimate treat connoisseur of AKA The Fence Company. I thought it was about time I took over the blog and gave you a sneak peek into my fabulous, fur-filled life here at the office. Grab a treat (or two) and settle in—it’s going to be pawsome!

A Day in the Life of Lilly

My days are jam-packed with very important mascot duties. I start each morning with a good stretch and a few barks to let everyone know I’m ready to conquer the day. After all, being this adorable is a full-time job! My first order of business is to greet the team with tail wags and sloppy kisses. They can’t start their day without my fuzzy motivation!

Naps, Snacks, and More Naps

Let’s be real, though—being cute is exhausting. I need plenty of naps to keep my energy up. You can usually find me snoozing in my favorite sunny spot underneath a desk, dreaming about chasing squirrels and belly rubs. Speaking of belly rubs, they’re an absolute must around here. I have everyone trained to give me cuddles on demand. Who could resist this fluffy belly, am I right?!

Mischief and Mayhem

Now, I may be friendly, but I’ve got a mischievous streak, thanks to my husky heritage. I’ve been known to engage in a bit of groundhog bullying and the occasional game of “Catch Me If You Can” with Mom (aka Heather Auchenbach) in the shop yard. She says I’m a handful, but I know she secretly loves the chase. Keeps her on her toes!

Tricks for Treats

When I’m not causing a ruckus, I love to show off my tricks. With a tasty treat as motivation, I’ll speak, give paw, and roll over like a pro. The UPS guy is my biggest fan—he never forgets my daily treat. I’ve got him wrapped around my paw! And guess what? Jodi, our super sweet receptionist, brings me a dog treat every morning and has not forgotten once since she started. I’m one spoiled pup!

Come Say Hello!

So, what are you waiting for? Come visit me at AKA The Fence Company! I’m here to brighten your day, one wag at a time. Whether you need a furry friend to cheer you up or just want to see my trick repertoire in action, I’m your girl. And hey, bring treats. A mascot’s got to keep her energy up, you know! Until then, keep those tails wagging and those treats coming!

Paws and kisses,

Lilly Auchenbach

Our Top 10 Fence-tastic Reasons Why Quality Fencing is a Property Game Changer

Posted by akafence on

Are you a homeowner wondering whether to invest in a quality fence for your property? Well AKA is here to help you make that decision! Spoiler alert: it’s a FANTASTIC idea! Although there are so many— here are our top 10 reasons why quality fencing adds value to your property: 

#1 It Boosts Curb Appeal

Let’s start with the obvious—first impressions matter! A well-crafted fence can transform your property from “meh” to “wow!” Think of fencing as an accessory to jazz up your already beautiful home! 

#2 Privacy, Please!

Who doesn’t love a bit of privacy? With a quality fence, you can garden or host a backyard get-together without the extra set of eyes. It’s your space—enjoy it in peace!

#3 Increased Functional Space

A quality fence can help define different areas of your yard, creating functional outdoor spaces. Whether you want to set up a cozy seating area, a play zone for kids, or a garden, a well-placed fence can help organize your yard into distinct, usable sections.

#4 Property Lines Made Clear

Say goodbye to awkward conversations with neighbors about property boundaries. A well-placed fence makes it crystal clear where your domain begins and ends. No more debates over where to mow! 

#5 Windbreaker Extraordinaire

Do you live in a windy area? Did you know that a fence can actually act as a windbreaker? It reduces wind speed, preventing damage to plants and structures, and creates a more comfortable outdoor space.

#6 Noise Reduction

If you live in a busy neighborhood or near a main road, a quality fence can actually help reduce noise pollution. Solid fences, such as those made from wood or vinyl, can block out unwanted noise, creating a more peaceful environment for you and your family. 

#7 Increased Property Value

Investing in a high-quality fence can bump up your property value. Potential buyers see it as one less thing they need to worry about, making your home more attractive on the market when you’re ready to sell!

#8 Aesthetic Versatility

From classic white picket fences to sleek modern designs, there’s a fence style to suit every taste. It’s an opportunity to express your personality and complement your home’s architecture. Don’t worry we’ll be sure to help you pick out the perfect fence for you! 

#9 Gardener’s Best Friend

For all you green thumbs out there, a fence can provide the perfect backdrop for climbing plants and flowers. It can also keep out garden pests like rabbits and deer, helping your plants thrive. Pssst… check out our blog “Picket Perfection: Crafting the Perfect Garden Enclosure” to learn more about how the perfect fence can be your garden’s best friend! 

#10 A Sense of Security

Last but definitely not the least, a quality fence provides a sense of security that’s hard to beat. Knowing that you have a solid barrier protecting your home can make all the difference. A sturdy fence is like a superhero for your home, keeping your loved ones and pets safely inside and unwanted visitors out.
