"These folks are amazing. Their work is top notch, they took extra time and effort to ensure everything was installed extremely well. I cannot express just how satisfied we our with their results. Not only would we hire them again, they will certainly be our initial starting point for any project like this. Their pricing was very reasonable and beat out multiple competitors. However, even if they came in a little bit more than another quote, I would certainly choose Midwest Alpha. Their quality and work ethic are worth more... I've worked with companies before that caused headaches and little corrections after the fact. These folks did it right the first time and made sure it was perfect. Seriously, do yourself a favor and use these folks. Don't risk someone else messing up your project, Alpha will do it right! Thank you Levi and your father for all the hardworking and amazing results."

"Brian removed and replaced overgrown bushes and re-landscape approach to my home. It was an extensive amount of work, but his team works swiftly and was very responsive to my needs. He also cut my lawn and did a thorough cleanup after the line was trimmed. I have hired him on several occasions for jobs that were too much work for my husband and I to do our ourselves."

"I had a fence that was leaning on my neighbors yard that needed to be repaired. Arnold's Construction came out to do a free estimate to find out the post was rotted in the ground. They were so friendly, got the job done quickly and you could not tell it ever learned! I had them come back another day to replace posts around my garden, as well. I am so happy I found my go-to handyman."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The most common height of a front yard fence is around 3 feet high, but it can vary depending on your zoning laws. If your fence is meant to create privacy, something closer to 6 feet or higher will do the trick. Most of the time, the highest fence you’ll see is 8 feet tall.

Yes, installing a picket fence is a manageable DIY project for homeowners with basic tools and some patience. The process involves marking the fence line, digging post holes, setting the posts, and attaching horizontal rails and pickets. However, precision is key to ensure the fence is straight and sturdy, which can be challenging for beginners. If the fence line is long, the ground is uneven, or you’re working with more complex materials like metal or composite, hiring a pro may be a better option.

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.

How long a fence lasts, including a split rail fence, will depend on the material from which it’s made. The average lifespan of a wood fence is about 15 to 20 years. However, split rail fences made out of premium materials, like composite, vinyl, steel, or aluminum, can last for 25 to 30 years or more, especially if you take good care of the material and carry out necessary maintenance.

The lifespan of a picket fence largely depends on its material. Wooden picket fences typically last 10 to 15 years with regular maintenance, while vinyl and composite picket fences can last 20 to 30 years or more due to their resistance to weather, rot, and pests. Metal picket fences often exceed 30 years, especially when properly coated to prevent rust or corrosion.
