"It went great. After purchasing a new home, I just wanted a professional to get the untamed yard back into a controlable state. My newly purchased lawn went from looking drab and unusable, to beautiful and like a yard again. It realy looks amazing. When they say do get results, they do results. So happy I choose to go with Venable and Sons. They even traveled farther than I was expecting to come to property. The pictures don't do it justice! Seriously Thank you so much for your hard work!"

"Mr. Blakely was polite and professional. His prices were much more reasonable than some of the larger fence companies in the area. He's a hard worker and a real craftsman. Our fence looks great!"

"Drake and his crew took on installing a double gate into my existing chain link fence. Their quote was very reasonable, they were prompt in replying to my outreach, reliable in showing up when they said they would, and Drake's communication was thorough; I was never left wondering. They were experienced, efficient, and professional. I was very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend them."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Knowing how close to the property line you can build a fence is an important planning step in your fence installation project. In many U.S. states, you are allowed to build a fence directly on the property line as long as your neighbor signs off on the plan. But check with your state government because some states and municipalities require a couple of inches before your property line.

The maximum recommended slope on which you can build a racked or stepped fence is 45 degrees. After that, construction becomes quite tricky and may require the use of retaining walls or terraces to make the fenced area flatter.

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.

Post depth for shadowbox fences should be at least two feet deep plus an additional foot for every foot of fence height above four feet. For a standard six-foot fence, this means a minimum depth of 3 feet. This depth helps to protect the structural integrity of your fence in the face of wind, soil movement, and seasonal ground shifts

Concrete is one of the easiest, most cost-efficient, and most effective ways to stabilize a fence post. To stabilize a fence post with concrete, you’ll dig a hole around the post in question and fill it up with concrete—easy as that. Concrete lasts about 50 years on average, so it’s a long-term solution.
