"Finesse Fencing did an excellent job replacing my old back fence. Marvin’s team was very prompt in scheduling to examine my property, provided me with good options and presented me with a very fair quote for the job. On the day of the job, the team showed up on time and worked straight through until dark to get the old fence out and the new fence completely constructed all in one day! I highly recommend contacting Marvin to get your fencing job done by Finesse Fencing."

"Eduardo and his team are fantastic!! We purchased a fixer home with a .33 acre lot, so there was lots to do. The grading was all wrong creating lots of sitting water that was causing damage, old fences and decks were rotting away and hazardous and things were pretty ugly. Eduardo listened carefully to our ideas and even offered some input that was really helpful. He took into consideration our young children and dogs, and what we wanted for our home. The prices are very reasonable for all the hard work and materials. Everyone always arrives on time, usually early. The guys are always so happy and extremely nice. My toddler adores them. In the end, our project consisted of new fencing all throughout the backyard, french drainage system, new trex deck, pavers, concrete steppers, astroturf in the back and front yard, retaining wall with stone facade, planter boxes, new trees and plants, landscape lighting and more! We are loving the yard now and getting so many compliments from neighbors. We want to be outdoors all the time now and entertain. This yard was in horrible shape before and a major undertaking. Eduardo and his team were so professional and left the site immaculate everyday. They stuck to the timeline given and we now have this beautiful yard in both the front and back to enjoy. Bay Breeze is amazing!! We will be working with them for our parents' yards as well as my husband's Real Estate clients. The love of their trade really shows and we can't thank them enough!!"

"We’re absolutely thrilled with the work Tom and his team did on our backyard in Oakland! They transformed the space by installing grass, a sprinkler system, a flagstone area, a pergola, and a fence, while also addressing drainage issues to ensure the yard stays in great shape for years to come. Tom was reliable, responsive, and a true professional. From our first consultation, he listened to our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and kept us informed every step of the way. His communication made the entire process seamless and stress-free. The crew was fantastic—punctual, respectful, and hardworking. They showed up on time every day, worked efficiently, and left the site spotless. Thanks to Tom and his team, our backyard is now a stunning, functional space that we love. We couldn’t recommend Tomservice more highly!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

When it comes to aluminum fence post depth, the posts should typically be about one-third of the length of the fence post deep into the ground. However, it's always best to check with your fencing manufacturer's recommendations to ensure you install it at the recommended depth for stability.

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.

Do you need a permit to build a fence if you are simply replacing an existing fence? Whether you need a permit in this case depends on your local laws and regulations. Most municipalities consider a fence replacement project as being equal to building a new fence, so you likely will need a permit. Check with your local building inspection department or zoning department to see if you need a permit. If you hire a local fence contractor, this pro can take care of obtaining all permits for you.

The best wood for a farm fence is pressure-treated wood that will stand up to various weather conditions, animal contact, and moisture. Farm fences need to resist rot and damage, so choose a species such as cedar or redwood. The natural oils in these woods give them decay resistance, which also makes them ideal for other fence types, such as a wooden snow fence.

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.
