"This is the 2nd house that I've had Matt and his team install fencing to enclose my backyard. He made it all even easy and worry free. The installation transpired without any issues. It took 2 days to install. When they were done, it was like the fence was always there. No debris, it was all cleaned up and ready to enjoy."

"We recently bought a home that had foreclosed. The previous owners had stopped taking care of the house for a long time. It has a large paver walk way and stairs to the front door as well as a walk way to the back yard. The pavers were sinking in areas, weeds were growing between them and some were loose. 
Nosh made them look like they were brand new. The improvement is truly amazing! He fit us into his schedule immediately. Nosh doesn't skimp on materials and uses the highest quality product. He is prompt, thoughtful and generous. Nosh is very fair with his price and stands behind his work.

"It went well after the materials were located. Derek and his team came in using their creative ability and did a wonderful job with tiling our bathroom. Professional service and communication, timeliness on point and courtesy, which is a lost art. Two thumbs up!"

"These guys are great, and I am a tough sell. The energy audit was really informative. I learned a lot about my 1970s home, and definitely got a lot of info that Charles didn't have to take the time to go through with me. After spending a couple hours in my home, Charles made recommendations based on my goals of increasing the energy efficiency of our house. On the days that Charles and his crew were out to complete the work, they were very careful to make sure they covered all areas with plastic (and took extra time to tape them down) so we wouldn't get dust and insulation all over the house. Most importantly, these guys do good work and stand behind it. It has been 2 weeks since the work was completed, and I can already tell that there is a big difference in my home. In about 4 more weeks, I should be getting $700 in rebates that Charles took the time to fill out the paperwork for. I'm thrilled, and will continue to tell people to use Brand New Construction.

"Charlie did a wide variety of projects across many disciplines and each task was executed perfectly. He installed a custom doggie door in a french door (wood and glass work), adjusted several interior doors, exterior fence work, electrical work, drywall repair, installed a dedicated drain line for a reverse osmosis water system and more. He is quite courteous and professional with a bottom line goal of exceeding expectations. A rare find. "

Fencing questions, answered by experts

You can DIY a stockade fence installation, but prepare to put in some good sweat equity. For the best results, carefully plan the exact location of your fence before you break ground. In particular, carefully map out your post locations before setting them in concrete. Be sure to call your local utility company before digging to avoid damaging underground wiring and causing severe injury.

On the other hand, installing stockade fencing on your own might sound too overwhelming. It’s certainly time-consuming and labor-intensive. Besides the hard work, you must install it properly to avoid gaps. Unless you’re confident you can get the job done right, hiring a privacy fence installer near you is the way to go.

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.

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.

You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.

Armadillos are attracted to water, so a leaky irrigation system or an overwatered lawn can encourage them to move in. They especially like wet areas where they can burrow and loose soil where they can dig for grubs. They are also attracted to dense ground cover, where they can often find food sources.
