"We recently had a fence installed and couldn't be happier with the results. The experience was great from start to finish. Communication throughout the whole process was clear and easy. Everything looks perfect. The project was completed on time and exactly as promised. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality fence installation. Great job Juvi,"

"America's Backyard replaced part of our wood fence with their white vinyl fencing and it's beautiful! Made our landscaping look great. We loved it so well we called them back out to install the rest of our yard against our neighbor's fence."

"They were amazing through the whole process extremely friendly and dedicated to the quality. The work is absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone. They even worked with our schedule with our drainage company even with having to push back our install date. They are definitely worth calling for a fence install. I can’t give them more then five stars but if I could I’d give them ten."

"Easy to work with, great customer service, removed our old wooden fence and installed our new vinyl fence very quickly and left very little mess behind (some clay etc.). When the city failed us on their final inspection due to the gates not self-closing Royal was out the next day to make the needed adjustments and the 2nd inspection was a breeze."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

In the vast majority of cases, chain-link fences are less expensive than wood fences. Installing a wood fence costs anywhere from 20% to 30% more than a chain-link fence, or an average of $3,100, whereas a similarly sized chain-link fence will average around $2,400. Even with add-ons and additional protective finishes, a chain-link fence is very likely to cost you less than a wood fence. The only exception would be a split rail wood fence, which can cost about half the price of a chain-link fence or less.

Fences made out of redwood, cedar, or pressure-treated pine are the most durable. These materials can last anywhere between 15 to 40 years so long as they are properly maintained. Make sure to clean your fence regularly and pressure wash once a year. After pressure washing, apply a sealant and/or fresh paint to keep it looking fresh.

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

When it comes to materials, wire fences are the cheapest option. The average cost for a 150-foot wire fence is $1,350. The next cheapest material is chain-link, followed by wood.

As far as the style of fence, smaller, less private fences are cheaper than large, elaborate fences that block your whole yard. That’s why split-rail fences are the cheapest option for wooden fences. They cost roughly $10 to $30 per linear foot.

For the most part, goats are friendly and won’t charge at you, but there are exceptions to this rule, as there are with any animal handling practices. Typically, goats don’t attack unless they feel threatened. Avoid cornering or rough handling goats to avoid getting head-butted, bitten, or kicked, and always supervise goats when they’re near children or pets.
