"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

A split rail fence is not typically considered among types of dog fencing. Many dogs are small enough to slip out between or under rails, and dangerous pests like coyotes can slip in. However, adding wire mesh to a split rail fence can add the security needed for dog safety without compromising the timeless look that makes the split rail style appealing.

Yes, you can expect your composite fencing to fade quickly during the first six months. This happens naturally because the wood oils in the fencing material, called tannins, bleed out. Because of this, it can help to get a color chart from your fence company, which should show you the color of your fence before and after it fades.

Glass has one of the longest lifespans of any fencing materials, lasting anywhere from 10 to 30 years on average. Just how long your glass fence lasts depends on several factors, including how well you maintain your fence, the climate, and the type of glass you use. 

If you live somewhere with severe weather like hail, tornadoes, or hurricanes, expect your glass to have a shorter lifespan. Pool glass is one of the thickest tempered glass materials and may last longer than other options—especially compared to laminated glass.

There are two things you can do to make a fence replacement easier—but keep in mind that easier doesn’t mean better. First, you can use a jack or some other type of machinery to pull the post out of the ground. If that’s not available, a digging bar can help.

Second, you can backfill the hole with gravel rather than creating a concrete footing. Keep in mind, gravel is less secure. You should only use it if you’re installing a lightweight fence or have heavier, clay soil.
