"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Standard post spacing for shadowbox fences is 6 to 8 feet. This spacing ensures proper support for the heavy weight of overlapping pickets and prevents sagging between posts. However, areas with high winds, slopes, or unstable soil conditions may require closer spacing.

There are many types of wood fencing that you can choose from. For split rail fencing, the most common wood types are cedar, pine, black locust, and chestnut. The best wood for you will depend on if you like the way a certain wood looks and the availability of the wood type in your area.

Most of the wood types you can find at your local home improvement store are good choices since they all have rot-resistant properties or are pressure-treated with pesticides. If none of the wood options speak to the look you’re going for, check out vinyl fencing.

A silt fence should be buried in a trench that is 6 to 12 inches deep. A depth of at least 6 to 8 inches is necessary to prevent water and sediment from running underneath the fence. A deeper trench, up to 12 inches, provides better anchoring during wet and windy weather. To ensure proper installation, look for a red line on the silt fence fabric, which often indicates the correct burial depth. Always adhere to local guidelines and regulations; a professional contractor will be familiar with these requirements.

To effectively keep animals out of your yard with a fence, choose a fence that anchors to the ground to deter digging. Also, consider adding a barrier below the fence to prevent burrowing. 

To make your yard less desirable to animals, eliminate food sources like a vegetable garden, and ensure your garbage cans are sealed and tamper-proof. Installing motion-activated devices like lights or sprinklers will startle animal intruders. Also, a fence won’t work well if you forget to keep gates closed and secure. If you still face persistent animal intrusion issues, contact a wildlife control expert who can offer specialized solutions.

Costs depend on material quality, fence length and height, installation complexity, and customization choices, but they average $20-$40 per linear foot.
