"Tony was excellent! Very responsive and professional. Can not say enough about his crew. Had a fence removed and new one installed. The crew was respectful and courteous to not only our property but neighbors. Not one scrap left behind. Left the yard as they found it. Had cedar/ chain link fence installed. The cedar fence quality and construction was exceptional compared to neighbor’s that used another company! I felt the cost of the project was very reasonable!"

"Thomas was absolutely amazing from first contact to finishing the fence repair project. He was open and honest about the project as far as pricing and the work required. He responded promptly to messages and arrived on time as promised. He made sure I was happy with the completion and cleaned up any materials, leaving my yard as He found it. He also asked if I needed him to do anything else before leaving. I've had really bad luck with contractors in the past but he was absolutely amazing. For sure will hire again."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Fence pickets typically face out (away from your home or the garden that you're enclosing). Both the rails and pickets sit on the outside of a fence so that anyone passing by can see the finished side. Not only does the look increase your curb appeal, but it's also the neighborly thing to do when placing a barrier between two properties, even when you're installing a privacy fence.

Pickets should sit at least 2 inches off the ground to encourage groundwater to flow underneath. Pickets can sit as much as 6 inches off the ground, but setting it any higher could let pets in or out of your yard unintentionally. These are not to be confused with the fence posts anchored underground with soil or concrete footing.

In terms of materials, chicken wire mesh will be the most inexpensive option to use when building your fence. The downside is that it’s not the most attractive garden fence option. In a similar vein, you could choose a DIY fence made out of repurposed items, like car tires, or wooden pallets, either of which would be free to collect. 

The cheapest fence to install is likely to be a wire fence, whether it’s hog wire or chicken wire. Closely following that is something repurposed that would be free to collect, like a DIY pallet fence. Most wire fences are available in large quantities at a low cost, so they’re great for homes with a tight budget.

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.
