They are good, honest people. They came out, gave an estimate and wanted to start the next day. If it not have been for mistakes in the fencing we were sent, they would have been done in 2-3 days tops! They went above and beyond, we have recommended them to friends for jobs they have!

"Excellent. Benson did great work and the price was very fair. The brick was over 50 years old and no longer manufactured, but he worked diligently to find a good color match. He was extremely reliable. Every time he said he would be here, he was here on time with no exceptions. Very kind and friendly, a real pleasure to work with. I am grateful I came across him."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

As with any project or material, installing wrought iron fencing has advantages and disadvantages. Some pros and cons of this fence material include:

Pros

Long lifespan with proper maintenance
Very durable
Aesthetically pleasing
Functional as well as decorative

Cons

Requires regular maintenance and cleaning
Expensive compared to other fence materials
Limited privacy

Pallet fences come with built-in support through the fence posts you should install on each side of their vertical interior. Stand the fence upright and slide it onto the fence posts, then further support it with 2x4 wood boards that you drill across each point where two pallets connect side-by-side.

Silt fences are very effective when installed correctly and used in proper locations. However, there are places where they don’t work as well. This includes property with a concentrated water flow, where runoff could pool or cause a flooding hazard. You’ll also want to use caution when installing in areas susceptible to landslides. Your contractor will follow state guidelines and know when an alternate solution is more effective.

Costs depend on material, labor, and additional features like gates or decorative elements.
