"They did project in one day and looks amazing. Our neighbors keep asking us who did our fence and gladly recommended Everlast. We had problem with closing one of the gate closing and we gave them a call and were able to come out a couple days later and fix gate and checked our other gate as well."

Customers say: Quality work

"Mr Garcia who is the owner was more than accommodating. He responded quickly and my fence was repaired to my specs within 1 week of the original request and quote visit. He did an excellent job on my chain link fence which was in pretty bad shape after years and years of use. The final test will be how well the gates hold up over time. So, more to come. Did I say he took time to match and paint the chain link so there is zero work left for me to do."

"America's Backyard replaced part of our wood fence with their white vinyl fencing and it's beautiful! Made our landscaping look great. We loved it so well we called them back out to install the rest of our yard against our neighbor's fence."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Privacy fences in residential neighborhoods tend to stand between 6 and 8 feet tall, but local building code usually dictates the maximum height. Livestock fences that border large land plots range from 3 to 6 feet. Shorter, decorative fences, which are common in front yards, are around 3 feet tall, on average. Fence height also tends to vary by material, with wood fences usually sitting at 6 feet tall, and chain-link and wrought iron fences tending to sit at half that.

One of the best alternatives to a snow fence is to plant a living snow fence of grasses, shrubs, trees, and crops like corn. Another temporary option is using hay bales to create a barrier to disrupt the wind flow, and cause snow to accumulate in specific areas. However, hay bales are not a permanent option, so keep that in mind when choosing what type of snow fence you should install.

You have several options for anchoring a temporary fence to keep it from falling down. Sandbags can be used as a standard weight, but they may blow away or fail in strong winds and inclement weather. Spikes and bolts are a cost-effective and easy-to-install alternative, but drilling can be difficult if the ground is frozen, too soft, or too hard. Another option is wind braces, which should be bolted into the ground to withstand turbulent wind; however, like spikes, they can be challenging to install in very soft or hard ground.

There are pros and cons to vinyl fencing. The drawbacks are that it can be expensive up front compared to options like chain-link fencing and that it’s vulnerable to fading. The material is difficult to repair without replacing entire panels or the whole fence, and you can’t paint over vinyl to change the color. However, this material is impressively durable and easy to maintain, making it a good choice for many homes.

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.
