"SP Fence installed my front and side fence. They quoted me a great price and, more importantly, they spent a lot of extra time making sure they got it just right, and the quality surpassed my expectations. I am picky, and this company delivers."

"We used them 18 years ago for the first fence and are so happy with their work again! They were professional and on time. They worked meticulously around all the cables and wires and dug everything by hand and had ZERO cable slicing. When our neighbor replaced their fence just days later, they came back out and closed the gaps left by the neighbor's fence (annoying), with no extra cost to us! I highly recommend Aztec Fence Inc!"

"I ended up going with a 6ft privacy fence. It looks fantastic. And a 4ft dog run. The customer service is outstanding. They checked in with me regarding the 3 gates that were being installed. We discussed which direction gates should swing (in or out) as well as which side I wanted the handle (left or right side of door). I appreciated that since it truly does make a difference. I will be having them come back in early summer to stain the wood."

"They are great! They are super nice, kind and very communicative. Our lawn has never been the best! They do other things like fertilize and take care of weeds- they were out of control before but now...the guys know what they are doing. We highly recommend them!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The bottom strand should sit between 12 to 15 inches from the ground. If you have a problem with small critters, you can aim for 8 inches. Three-strand fences should be 16 to 19 inches apart, four-strand fences should be 10 to 12 inches apart, and five-strand fences should be 8 and 10 inches apart.

Installing a picket fence includes measuring and marking the area where you plan to build the fence, laying out all of the materials, digging post holes, setting the posts using concrete, measuring the rails, attaching the rails, attaching the pickets, and then painting or staining the fence if you chose a wooden fence material. 

Vegetable gardens can easily become a convenient food bank for your local animal population, whether it’s squirrels stealing fruit or rabbits munching on freshly grown veggies. If you want to keep those critters out, it helps to put a fence around your vegetable garden that’s at least a couple of feet tall to deter any animals from getting past it. Just make sure your fence doesn’t interrupt the amount of sunlight your garden needs to thrive. 

When your rolls of silt fence join together, you’ll want to overlap them to make sure they’re still as effective at keeping water out without requiring fastening together. Overlap two sections of the silt fencing so that two sheets of fabric cover the span of two posts. If you want to fasten them together, you can staple them or use a zip tie, depending on whether your posts are metal or wood. 

There are two things you can do to make a fence replacement easier—but keep in mind that easier doesn’t mean better. First, you can use a jack or some other type of machinery to pull the post out of the ground. If that’s not available, a digging bar can help.

Second, you can backfill the hole with gravel rather than creating a concrete footing. Keep in mind, gravel is less secure. You should only use it if you’re installing a lightweight fence or have heavier, clay soil.
