"I called Ace Fence and spoke with Doug the owner on Wednesday. He asked me to text him photos of the fence and would quote me right over the phone, which he did! He called back and said he would be able to come the next day to fix the gate, which he did! He came Thursday and repaired the fence to our gate within an hour! He was very easy to work with and would highly recommend him & his team!"

"This spring the rain was no friend to outside construction, however, America's Best Patio Rooms were able to start the project the end of June. The original size of our screened in porch was 12' x 10' which was too small so we wanted it extended by six feet to 12' x 16'. Initially we thought we'd do a three season room but after getting four estimates and deciding that we really didn't want to spend that amount at this time we kept it as a screened in porch. Because of the crumbling concrete, we had to have about five feet of the original pad removed and about eleven feet of new concrete poured. I wasn't totally pleased with the concrete work since, while the new concrete is level, the original pad had a slight decline away from the house, meaning that there is a slight valley where the two meet. This was very evident when it rained buckets while the roof was still 10' and the pad was uncovered; a lot of water collected at the valley. However, now that the roof is extended and the supports and screening in place, this, hopefully, will no longer be an issue (so far it hasn't and there have been heavy rains). While the project went slower than I would have liked (rain didn't help) in the end, the finished product is flawless. America's Best Patios uses white vinyl casing to cover the support beams and white aluminum to hold the screening which provides a very clean, flawless appearance to the porch, especially when compared to the rough cedar that was part of the previous porch. When the crew completed the porch, the appearance is clean and crisp, the screens are tight (something I really appreciate), and its a pleasure to once again use our porch. A couple things worth noting: 1) Austin, the boss, takes pride in what he does and always answered my questions in detail; 2) they hooked up an outside light even though the contract stated it was the responsibility of the homeowner; 3) painters creased two of the screens the day after the porch was completed but the crew came back and fixed them with no charge to me; and 4) the crew that did our screened in porch paid attention to the details and kept me informed as to the schedule and progress. I also need to mention that I was not enamored with the concrete work that was done; when it was completed the finish was like walking on broken shards of glass meaning that shoes had to be worn and we are definitely bare-foot people in the summer on the porch. Since I didn't want to deal with the concrete person (he had missed three appointments with me previously) I just used a belt sander with ultra coarse sandpaper and took care of it myself. So, the screened in porch is fantastic and since I sanded the concrete smooth we can walk on it without shoes. If using America's Best, you might want to discuss the concrete and the finish before signing a contract. And while I wasn't satisfied with the concrete work, the rest was top notch, so I gave them an "A" rating (wish they had a separate rating for the concrete work!) or a chance to rate them "A-"."

"It's a difficult area to control rainwater because of the size of the parking area.  They installed rip rap, edging and a drain to control the flow of water down a slope at the side of the garden.  This is an effective drain. In very heavy rain, there is still alot of water pouring through the drain, but Eathwood has relliably continued to monitor the area, and make improvements as needed.

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.

Galvanized metal, vinyl, and composite fences are known to be the longest-lasting options, often surviving for over 30 years with proper care. Metal fences, including galvanized chain link and aluminum, can look great for decades because the galvanization process adds a protective coating that resists weather and pests. Similarly, vinyl and composite materials are resistant to pests and can withstand harsh weather for many years. In comparison, a typical wood fence lasts about 15 years, and a standard vinyl fence has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.

You can use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence, but you’ll need to purchase a thicker and higher-quality variety to ensure it doesn’t sag or warp after you install it. Use #2 pine grade lumber and boards and thicker dimensional lumber, such as a two-by-six. You’ll also need to use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, as the chemicals in the treated lumber will cause regular galvanized fasteners to rust. 

Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a termite infestation. It’s best to leave a gap of 3 or 4 inches at the bottom for airflow and to keep the wood dry. You can add stones, bricks, or other decorative pieces to conceal the bottom of the lattice if desired.

When it comes to materials, wire fences are the cheapest option. The average cost for a 150-foot wire fence is $1,350. The next cheapest material is chain-link, followed by wood.

As far as the style of fence, smaller, less private fences are cheaper than large, elaborate fences that block your whole yard. That’s why split-rail fences are the cheapest option for wooden fences. They cost roughly $10 to $30 per linear foot.
