"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

Yes, fence posts need to be installed below the frost line to ensure stability and prevent heaving caused by freezing and thawing cycles. The frost line is the depth at which soil freezes during winter. By placing posts below this line, often around 3 to 4 feet deep or as recommended for your specific region, you reduce the risk of the ground shifting, which can lead to leaning or unstable fences. Adequate depth provides better anchoring and helps maintain the fence's integrity, ensuring it remains secure and upright throughout changing seasons.

A wrought iron fence is generally considered a worthwhile investment, provided the cost fits your budget and its characteristics meet your needs. While it is an expensive material, its exceptional durability and longevity mean you can save money over time by not having to replace it.

Key benefits include:

  • Durability and Security: Wrought iron is strong and provides excellent security for your home.

  • Longevity: With proper maintenance, it can last a lifetime or longer.

  • Aesthetics: It offers a classy, timeless, and elegant look that can boost your home's curb appeal and property value, especially when complementing brick or stone architecture.

However, it's important to note that wrought iron fencing does not offer much privacy. If professionally installed and maintained, it is a sound long-term investment.

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.

The first step in choosing a reputable dog fencing company is to confirm that the professional has experience in your particular area and maintains positive reviews online. You should also check the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) website to see if they have accrued customer complaints in the past. Additionally, you can ask the following questions to qualify the pro:

  • Do you have experience installing the specific fence material I want?

  • Will you pull permits for the installation?

  • Will you help get a survey done to make sure I build on my property?

  • Do you have a list of referrals?

While they can be closer, the maximum distance between fence posts for residential fences is 8 feet. This ensures the panels are adequately supported by the fence posts. This is usually dictated by the width of the panel, which is typically between 5 and 8 feet. While narrower panels will require more posts, they’ll be lighter and easier to work with than wider panels that are the same height.
