"He was the only person who proposed fixing the fence instead of replacing the whole sections. They were able to rebuild it almost entirely with the existing redwood and adding a few boards. Blends in nicely with the rest of the fence. Way cheaper than replacing the whole sections."

"With Optimiz3 Construction everything was everything I hoped it could be. I appreciate Jordan's prompt responses and no nonsense professionalism. I sent out a request to have a new fence built in my yard and only Jordan at Optimiz3 followed through professionally and responsibly. None of the other contractors that I contacted or contacted me were able to respond as kindly, professionally and respectively. In just 3 days Jordan was able to conceptualize and built my new fence in a manner that exceeded my expectations. The price was good and the value is outstanding! My fence is amazing and Optimiz3 Construction is amazing. Thank you very much for all your hard work. Jordan at Optimiz3 Construction can be your one and done call for your construction needs."

"I was looking for a landscape contractor to make some improvements. A friend had mentioned their satisfaction with New Earth so I visited the website and was impressed by the diversity of projects they display. I wanted someone reputable and affordable and the fact that New Earth is licensed, bonded, insured and provides Workerâ s Compensation coverage impressed me. Pablo, the estimator, came to my home and gave me a reasonable price. They installed a paver stone patio that accorded exactly with what I wanted. They also built a stout new redwood stockade fence to enclose my backyard. And they installed a concrete walk/stairway that is adapted very nicely to the terrain. The project was done quickly and to my complete satisfaction and in the price range quoted to me. Iâ m already planning new projects with New Earth and recommend them highly to friends!"

"Ingacio performed the work as agreed. He takes pride in his work and has a lot of knowledge in regards to iron gates. He was very carefully with the leveling tool to ensure the gate aligned well for closure. He removed the weld on one hinge and re-welded hinge. He also welded on a wheel with adjustable spring on the bottom corner of the gate to support the weight of the gate. He also took an extra step to lubed the hinges on the gates even though it was not included with estimate. The end result job is my locks on door function well and gate doors close properly."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Most homeowners don't need to inform their neighbors before constructing a fence, according to the law, but you will need to make sure that you’re building on the property line or on your side of the property line. Otherwise, the neighbor could complain, which would require you to tear down and reinstall the fence. In any case, keeping them in the loop is the neighborly thing to do!

Whether you inform your neighbors or not, always use property records and a land survey to ensure your fence stays within your property boundaries.

A wrought iron fence is generally considered a worthwhile investment, provided the cost fits your budget and its characteristics meet your needs. While it is an expensive material, its exceptional durability and longevity mean you can save money over time by not having to replace it.

Key benefits include:

  • Durability and Security: Wrought iron is strong and provides excellent security for your home.

  • Longevity: With proper maintenance, it can last a lifetime or longer.

  • Aesthetics: It offers a classy, timeless, and elegant look that can boost your home's curb appeal and property value, especially when complementing brick or stone architecture.

However, it's important to note that wrought iron fencing does not offer much privacy. If professionally installed and maintained, it is a sound long-term investment.

You can keep a dog from digging under a fence by filling existing holes in your yard, installing a wire to your fence bottom, burying your fence bottom, making a designated digging spot, and removing visual stimuli. You can also dissuade your dog from wanting to dig under your fence and escape by scheduling more one-on-one playtime and ensuring they are getting enough exercise to keep them stimulated.

There are many pros and cons to vinyl and composite fencing. Both fencing types offer longer lifespans than wood fencing, with some notable advantages. Whether one is better for you will depend on a few factors. Composite is better if you prefer recycled materials, while vinyl is extremely easy to clean. 

Also, consider the disadvantages: vinyl can be more expensive, while composite fencing fades during the first six months.

The depth of your post hole depends on your post length. If you decide on a two-rail fence, the posts are likely 6 feet long. You want your hole to be at least 1/3 of the post length. In this case, your post hole should be two feet deep.

If you opt for a three-rail fence, the posts will typically be 7 feet long, meaning your post hole should be 28 inches deep.
