"We used them 18 years ago for the first fence and are so happy with their work again! They were professional and on time. They worked meticulously around all the cables and wires and dug everything by hand and had ZERO cable slicing. When our neighbor replaced their fence just days later, they came back out and closed the gaps left by the neighbor's fence (annoying), with no extra cost to us! I highly recommend Aztec Fence Inc!"

"I worked with Patricia, Rosa and Francisco. Everyone with Y&B Fence company is very professional, they are flexible and really helped me select the best materials for my budget.I am very happy with the wood fence they installed for me, it looks great, really professionally done. We had some rain interrupt the original scheduled day,but I didn't even have to follow up with them, they notified me and completed the work as soon as the ground was reasonably dry. I liked that they gave me choices and recommendations at every step, so that could make the best decision and get a fence that will last years. I am hiring them again for another fence next year. Thanks Y&B fence!"

"I had two estimates. One wanted to completely redo the fence when a lot of the fence was still in good shape. Iâ m glad I called American Fence Professionals first. The person who provided the estimate gave me a lot of good information and the installation team was on time and professional and continued to give me advice. They did a great job."

"I cannot speak more highly about John's Fence Inc. Juan Acosta was wonderful to work with. His crew was pleasant, neat, respectful and quick. They installed our 4 ft aluminum fence in one 8-hour day. All other fence companies I asked for quotes were telling me 10 to 14 weeks for installation. Juan told me 3 to 4 weeks and it was 3 weeks to the day. He even applied for the building permit. I highly recommend them and would use them again in the future if we ever move within the area and need another fence."

Fencing FAQs, answered by experts

Knowing how close to the property line you can build a fence is an important planning step in your fence installation project. In many U.S. states, you are allowed to build a fence directly on the property line as long as your neighbor signs off on the plan. But check with your state government because some states and municipalities require a couple of inches before your property line.

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.

When your rolls of silt fence join together, you’ll want to overlap them to make sure they’re still as effective at keeping water out without requiring fastening together. Overlap two sections of the silt fencing so that two sheets of fabric cover the span of two posts. If you want to fasten them together, you can staple them or use a zip tie, depending on whether your posts are metal or wood. 

To choose where to add a fence gate, know where fence gates shouldn’t go. For example, you should avoid placing gates over low spots on the ground where water can collect and form muddy puddles. Many ranchers install gates at the corner of a fence. Certain gate placements may also be required depending on the type of gate latch you use.

In addition to the fence itself, several factors can impact the overall price of putting a fence in. Consider these add-ons and necessary expenses when building your project budget. For example, additional cost factors may include:

  • Removing your existing fence

  • Land leveling and other site work

  • Tree and stump removal

  • New landscaping

  • Working around underground utilities

  • Painting and staining
