"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."

"Tom Services Landscaping provided us with very competitive pricing for three highly visible projects at our home/property and did a fantastic job on all three. The custom white picket fence they installed looks great and was completed per our specifications. The circular driveway paving stone repair they did looked flawless and exceeded our expectations. The concrete sidewalk they installed looked super and was completed efficiently. Tom Gutierrez and his team are professional, paid attention to details, completed the projects as scheduled and left the site clean each day. We couldn’t be more pleased and we would definitely use their services again. Highly recommended."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

A board on board fence is more expensive than other types of privacy fences. That’s because these fences require overlapping boards, which drives up material and labor costs. On average, a board on board fence costs 30% more than an average wood fence.

This depends mainly on how well the posts were installed and what type of wood was used to build the gate in the first place. Softwoods have a life expectancy of up to 15 years but can last slightly longer with regular maintenance and waterproofing treatments. By contrast, hardwoods can last up to 30 years with little care, so you may avoid costly replacements by spending a little more upfront.

A fence gate can sag for several reasons. The issue often stems from the hardware, such as damaged or bent hinges, or loose screws that can no longer support the gate's weight. The gate frame itself might also have come out of square due to failing supports. Alternatively, the problem may not be the gate but the supporting fence post, which could be leaning or out of place. In many cases, fixing a sagging gate is as simple as tightening the hinge screws or upgrading to more robust hinges.

The maximum recommended slope on which you can build a racked or stepped fence is 45 degrees. After that, construction becomes quite tricky and may require the use of retaining walls or terraces to make the fenced area flatter.

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.
