"We had Lawn Gurus install fencing in difficult locations (dealing with a swale) close to existing fences. They did a great job. They handled some smaller issues gate closings, fixing the ability to open, close and latch gates etc. Dan & Christian are very professional, responsive, and focused on making sure the project is done correctly. They came back after the job was completed and cleaned up the work area."

"Luis was the first pro to respond to my request for quotes and was very flexible with coming out for an estimate. His quote was very reasonable and he was available to start in just a few days. Luis and his crew removed our old fence, cleared out the dead area and put in the new fence in about half a day. The team was quick, efficient, polite and did great work. I will definitely call Luis again for our next need."

"Alex of AG construction delivered precisely on how he said he would do the job fron the beginning to end of the process and did so in an extremely timely manner. Even the on site workers putting up fence made sure we were happy with the work all the way through the process of putting our new fence up."

"Jim Lockhart is the best of the best. From the time we were planning our project right through completion, he was the model of precision and professionalism. While Jim owns the business, he also worked on site each and every day. Our project together included a 2nd floor master suite addition, additional bathroom remodel, new roof, siding, windows, and HVAC! Jim was always on time and showed up when he said he was. Once our project started he was there every day consistently and worked incredibly hard each day. He worked with high quality sub-contractors when necessary (roof, electrical, and plumbing) and held them to highest standard and was on site while they worked. While construction was occuring, Jim was careful to keep our house as clean as possible and took extra care to ensure my children were comfortable and safe and their home. Jim even took the time say good morning to our dog each day in an effort to make our whole family comfortable! He cleaned each and every day. He was a master communicator and walked us through each step from start to finish. Jim worked on our home for almost 6 months and he took every detail seriously every day. I would highly recommend Jim for any scale job! You would be hard pressed to find a more skilled or professional contractor!"

"Right from the start, our experience with Fence and Deck Connection was terrific. The sales rep showed us options at various price points and when our initial selection was beyond our means he showed us a less expensive alternative that was perfect. Once the contract was signed and materials delivered, the installation manager and crew showed up on time as scheduled and worked quietly, courteously and very professionally. It was obvious that they knew what they were doing. The manager came by daily to inspect what work was done and provided us with an accurate timeline for completion of the work. Every step in completing this significant investment was done professionally. We could not ask for better service and highly recommend Fence and Deck Connection."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The depth of the fence posts depends on the height of your fence. If you’re installing a 6-foot fence, then digging 2-foot-deep holes for the fence posts will help ensure a secure installation. However, if you’re installing an 8-foot fence, the posts will need to be deeper than 2 feet to support the structure properly. Also, consider how far apart the fence posts should be to provide adequate support.

Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first. 

You have several options for anchoring a temporary fence to keep it from falling down. Sandbags can be used as a standard weight, but they may blow away or fail in strong winds and inclement weather. Spikes and bolts are a cost-effective and easy-to-install alternative, but drilling can be difficult if the ground is frozen, too soft, or too hard. Another option is wind braces, which should be bolted into the ground to withstand turbulent wind; however, like spikes, they can be challenging to install in very soft or hard ground.

There’s no definitive answer to this question because dog owners and experts are conflicted about the efficacy and morality of electric fences. However, physical fences are typically considered a better option since they provide guaranteed containment for your pup, provided they are tall enough, and your dog can’t dig under them. Physical fences can also provide privacy, which might stop your dog from barking at people or animals walking by. Physical dog fences tend to be more expensive, but most homeowners find them to be a better option overall.

The regulations for pool fence heights vary by state, so be sure to research what the legal, minimum height is in your area before purchasing or installing a fence. Though every region is different, generally a pool fence must be at least 4 and ½ feet high. If you’re unsure whether you need a fence around your pool, and how high that fence should be, contact a local pool enclosure expert to help you successfully, and safely, move forward.
