"SP Fence installed my front and side fence. They quoted me a great price and, more importantly, they spent a lot of extra time making sure they got it just right, and the quality surpassed my expectations. I am picky, and this company delivers."

"Y & B Fencing has my high recommendation. The visit to my home to measure and get the details about my job was professional, very friendly and thorough. The quote was sent to me quickly and the price for the job was the lowest I had received. I hired them not on the cost alone but the confidence I felt in the integrity and dedication of the company. They exceeded my expectation. My install was scheduled earlier than first anticipated and they maintained good communication throughout. The installers arrived early and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the materials and workmanship was top notch. My fence is beautiful and I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you Y & B Fence for not only my new fence but for a pleasant all around experience."

"We had contacted another fence contractor from Home Advisor and they were not interested in our business. But John's Fence contacted us immediately, came out and quoted us and showed up on time, doing a fantastic job. We will definitely use them again in the future. They were friendly, understood what we wanted and really went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied."

"Outstanding Vinyl Fence & Exceptional Service from D & D Fencing! We couldn’t be happier with our vinyl fence from D & D Fencing. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free—and Juvi is truly the reason this project turned out so great. Juvi was knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly easy to work with. He took the time to explain our options, answered every question, and made sure the fence design fit our property perfectly. His attention to detail and pride in his work really showed. The vinyl fence itself looks amazing—clean, sturdy, and high-quality. It completely transformed our yard and instantly boosted our home’s curb appeal. The installation was efficient, precise, and left everything neat and clean afterward. If you’re looking for a reliable fencing company that delivers top-notch results, D & D Fencing is the way to go. And if you get the chance to work with Juvi, you’re in excellent hands. Highly recommended!"

"We had a few delays because of the rain. But when stopped raining they showed up on time and started the project. They finished the gate next day. Clean up the trash and hauled it away. I would recommend EZHome to have a fence installed."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.

If you come face-to-face with a wolf in your yard, chances are it will be afraid of you as a human. Make eye contact and get big—waving your arms to increase your size. Use noisemakers or air horns if you have them, or throw a few rocks around to discourage them from approaching you. If all else fails and the wolf does not retreat, back away slowly while maintaining eye contact and find safe ground, whether indoors or up a tree. 

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.

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.

If the fence is on one neighbor’s property, that person is responsible for repairs, regardless of who benefits from the fence more. The other neighbor must keep trees and other obstacles from crossing the property line and affecting the fence. If the fence is directly on the property line, though, who owns a shared fence? Many states have laws that address this issue. Typically, the two property owners would share responsibilities and costs for fence maintenance and repair. You may need a property line survey to precisely determine ownership and responsibility.
