"Stevie was very prompt and showed up on time, as scheduled. We went over my fence layout and discussed various fencing materials. I asked him to price the project out with two material options. He called me back in a few days with the pricing i requested. We then scheduled the installation, which was scheduled one week out. (all other contractors were 3 months out). Stevie and his worker showed up the day of install, and i threw a slight layout change at them and added approximately 14 extra feet. They completed the project that day and our fence looks great, we would highly recommend them!"

"Absolutely great, very accommodating! When you want work done by someone you can trust and you want the job done right call Gary! I called him on Monday, he met with me on Tuesday and started working on Wednesday of the following week! I had him put a privacy fence up for me with an extra part fenced off for my dog, he did everything I asked and made sure everything was done right and built to last. I highly recommend calling GCJ Contracting for any work you need done."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Planting greenery on a fence can help achieve more privacy, whether it’s shrubs along a picket or chain link fence or rolls of faux greenery to help create a solid-colored backdrop beyond the fence line. You can also try adding more lattice or paneling across a fence so that there are fewer places where passing eyeballs can see in.

Ideally, when you replace a fence post, you should also replace the concrete footing. The concrete bonds to your new post, creating a secure base. If you install a new post into old concrete, it won’t be as sturdy.

That said, it is possible. Sometimes the post will lift right out of the concrete. If not, you can use a high-lift car jack to try and lift the pole out of the footing. Put the new post into the same hole and backfill it with fast-setting concrete. Keep in mind, this won’t work well for metal posts.

Generally, the height of your dog fence should be 3 times the distance from the ground to your dog’s shoulder. For most small breeds, a 4-foot high fence will be more than enough to keep them from jumping out. Medium-sized breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and German Shepherds will need at least a 5-6 foot fence to stay contained. Large breeds that are also excellent jumpers, such as Greyhounds, may need a 7-foot high fence. 

Green branches are more flexible and easier to work with, but they'll shrink as they dry, which can loosen your fence weave over time—so you'll need to weave them extra tight to account for shrinkage. Some species, particularly willow, may also try to sprout when used green. For these reasons, it’s typically easiest to use branches that have dried for a week or two.

A stockade fence is a common type of privacy fence. These fences consist primarily of side-by-side boards without any gaps, thus eliminating the possibility of anyone peeking into your property. Stockade-style fences also typically included pointed pickets on top for even more security. Other than these traits, stockade fences come in a wide variety of styles.
