"The guys that put up my fence did a really good job. They even showed up Sunday to finish the job which really surprised me. I would definitely hire them again to replace the remainder of the fence."

"I needed a privacy fence removed and a brand new one installed, as the one I had installed six months earlier was already coming down. The owners and crew of Tailored Timber were excellent, and I could not recommend them more highly. They were professional, knowledgeable, timely, and very affordable. They removed the existing fence and installed a new one with new materials in 2 1/2 days (despite temperatures being in the 90s). Their craftsmanship and attention to detail are exceptional!"

"Rebel Roofing and Renovations did a great job removing the old sidewalk around my house and then pour new concrete. The sidewalk was pitched away from the house to help divert water away from the base of my house and it looks great."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

While cedar and pine are two of the most common wooden fence materials, everything from redwood to bamboo is also available. You can also purchase pressure-treated wood, which better withstands water damage and the threat of pests. The best wood for your fence will come down to your budget, local climate, and preferred look.

Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your fence materials. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts.

Standard post spacing for shadowbox fences is 6 to 8 feet. This spacing ensures proper support for the heavy weight of overlapping pickets and prevents sagging between posts. However, areas with high winds, slopes, or unstable soil conditions may require closer spacing.

The best way to protect your pets from coyotes is to ensure they are always supervised when outside, especially during dawn and dusk when coyotes are the most active. When walking your dog, keep it on a short leash and carry something noisy you can use to haze any coyotes you may encounter.
