"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!"

"Vertex has completed more than one project for me but I especially want to mention the amazing job they did replacing the siding on my home. The whole process was smooth, communication was great and they kept everything clean from start to finish. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them!"

"What excellent work!!! Joe and his team were just amazing-- great communication, on time work with exceptional quality. Joe has real pride in his work and beautiful vision. He did an amazing job designing our backyard transformation-- grading a sloped backyard, adding retaining walls, sump pump, raised beds, veggie planter, kid's sandbox, a paver patio and stairs, irrigation, hardscape, and plants and sod--- he can do it all!!! Look no farther. He also fixed a million other things while he was back there (rotting gate, fenceposts, etc etc). If I ever need anything else done to this house (unlikely because he made it all so nice), he is my first call. The quality of his work is also exceptional. He doesnt cut corners and makes sure everything is JUST right. He picked plants and colors really well- everything is cohesive without being matchy. Great taste. He is also really creative-- found clever solutions to hide some eyesores in our yard (sump pumps), while retaining their integrity and functionality. He figured out a clever way to move a Tuff shed. He also figured out a hidden solution to keep our parking spot from retaining water from the sprinklers-- AND he fixed the previous irrigation in the front yard. There was really no task that was beyond Joe and his great team. I kept piling on more and more projects as I could see how excellent his work was-- and he was really nice about it. He also took great care to educate me on plant and lawn care, equipping me to be able to maintain everything myself. Overall, just a really fantastic experience & collaboration. So pleased with the quality and aesthetics of Joe's work."

"BEST!! David's company was the best ever for the work performed. We needed synthetic grass, new fence, stone work, irrigation system, drilling, planting and more. As a senior I have had many projects performed by contractors. NEVER, NEVER have we experience the quality, perfection, performance, attention to detail than David. Very attentive and wonderful to communicate with."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Privacy fences in residential neighborhoods tend to stand between 6 and 8 feet tall, but local building code usually dictates the maximum height. Livestock fences that border large land plots range from 3 to 6 feet. Shorter, decorative fences, which are common in front yards, are around 3 feet tall, on average. Fence height also tends to vary by material, with wood fences usually sitting at 6 feet tall, and chain-link and wrought iron fences tending to sit at half that.

All fences offer some degree of privacy, but standard perimeter fences may not be designed with that in mind. Dedicated privacy fences, however, tend to enclose smaller areas and feature more high-end materials that truly emphasize seclusion and comfort. Additionally, privacy fences typically offer fewer gaps to peek in through than standard fences, though you can likely adjust that to suit your preferences. 

The recommended height for a garden fence depends on its primary purpose. For pest control, the necessary height varies by animal. To keep out small pests like rabbits, a fence should be at least two to three feet tall. If you live in an area with deer, you will need a much taller fence, at least five feet high, to prevent them from jumping over. If the main goal is privacy, the fence should be at least seven feet tall. For purely decorative fences, the height is a matter of personal preference.

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.

The thickness of a glass fence varies widely based on its application and whether or not there are any safety requirements, but most fences are between 8 millimeters and 12 millimeters thick. 12-millimeter-thick glass is extremely strong and overkill in most cases, which is why you typically only see it around pools and in skyscrapers.
