"This the second fence I have had SP Fence install. They did an excellent job on this fence just like they did on the first fence. The first fence is now 7 years old and still looks great. They did 2 maintenance visits on the first fence and both were great. If I need a third fence in the future I am definitely calling SP Fence, nice people, quality work, good price."

"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!"

"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!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

If you come face-to-face with a wolf in your yard, chances are it will be afraid of you as a human. Make eye contact and get big—waving your arms to increase your size. Use noisemakers or air horns if you have them, or throw a few rocks around to discourage them from approaching you. If all else fails and the wolf does not retreat, back away slowly while maintaining eye contact and find safe ground, whether indoors or up a tree. 

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.

Do you need a permit to build a fence if you are simply replacing an existing fence? Whether you need a permit in this case depends on your local laws and regulations. Most municipalities consider a fence replacement project as being equal to building a new fence, so you likely will need a permit. Check with your local building inspection department or zoning department to see if you need a permit. If you hire a local fence contractor, this pro can take care of obtaining all permits for you.

Regular staining, sealing, and inspecting for rot or insect damage prolongs fence lifespan.

Most privacy fences are easy to install if you’re going with a DIY-friendly option like a wood fence, vinyl fence, or pallet fence. Since pallet fences come in the form of pre-constructed fence panels, they’re often considered the easiest privacy fence to install. Just get your fence stakes in the ground and slide the pallets onto them before securing them with scrapboard.
