Auburndale is a city of about 17,000 people in Polk County, sitting roughly halfway between Tampa and Orlando along the I-4 corridor. It's part of the Lakeland-Winter Haven metro area and has grown steadily over the past two decades as people move inland from the coasts. You can learn more about the community at the City of Auburndale's official site, and population data is available through the U.S. Census Bureau.

One of the most recognizable features of Auburndale is its lakes. Dozens of lakes are scattered throughout the city, including Lake Ariana, which has a public boat ramp and park that residents use year-round. Many homes in the city back up to lake edges or sit on streets running along the water. For homeowners near the lakes, that proximity means higher year-round moisture levels - which is exactly why material choice for decks and fences matters more here than in drier inland areas. The city grew up as a citrus-packing town, and that agricultural history is still visible in older neighborhoods and the flat, open land on the outskirts. Some residential lots on the edges of the city sit on former grove land, which can affect soil composition and drainage - something we account for when sizing deck footings.

Auburndale's mild winters and year-round warmth mean residents use their outdoor spaces nearly every month - which makes a well-built deck or fence a practical improvement, not just an aesthetic one. Whether your home is near downtown along Havendale Boulevard, in a newer subdivision on the north end of town, or right on the water, Auburndale Fence & Deck builds and installs outdoor structures that hold up to Central Florida's heat, humidity, and summer storms.
