"J.E. Landscaping was phenomenal! Our gardens were literally overgrown with weeds we couldn t keep up with them. J.E. Came out in 3 hours they cleared the front and back garden areas, put new weed tarp in and brand new mulch in! Our yard looks amazing!! We are so happy with their work! I have already given 2 of my neighbors business cards for this company since they too were so impressed. If you need landscaping done, I highly recommend this company!"

"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."

"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!"

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.

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.

You can't build a fence against your neighbor's fence if it touches or is attached to it unless you get explicit permission from your neighbor. Most municipalities recommend building a fence about two feet away from your neighbor's fence to allow access for fence repair and mowing.

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.
