"All went smoothly, from my initial call to completion. The quote was very competitive, the work was done promptly, and the result was actually better than what I had expected considering the age and condition of the original fence."
"I highly recommend Northland Fence. They make building a fence easy! They are truly fence professionals starting from the initial meeting with the design specialist to the fence crew and the office staff plus they have a great website that includes a video of how the fence is constructed. When I first saw my finished fence I was amazed! Northland Fence exceeded my expectations! Now I have a great, high quality fence with a 10 year warranty!"
"We needed part of our fence fixed. Josh had the entire thing start to finish completed quickly, and effectively. It looks beautiful and we dont' have to worry about the safety of our dogs anymore. Thanks Josh!"
"Top Notch Fencing came in with one of the lowest bids. Rob from T.N.F. told me exactly what they would be doing with the project and when they would start. They did a very nice job with this project. Everything went as they said it would and it looks great. Top Notch’s fee was lower than most but their work was not at all sub par"
"Dale was nothing less than fabulous to work with. Helpful, accommodating with changes, suggested some of his own changes that bettered the project, great workmanship, excellent communication. We had him create a cedar fence with hog panels (4x4 squares) that enclosed about half of our 3/4 acre yard. He had to tie it into an existing fence, and clean up/fix old fence sections (in the woods)...It looks beautiful! He did what he said he was going to do, the product/experience exceeded expectations. I would give him 10 stars if it were possible. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to create any type of fence!"

"What an incredible team Hidden Fence of Minnesota has! I had a fence with a competitor and adopted two dogs, who arrived faster than anticipated. The previous organization couldn't fit me in for 2 months. I don't like to have dogs tied out and they don't either, after a month of getting tangled, damage to landscape and other, I contacted Hidden Fence of MN. While I was frustrated, they were calm and kind and able to be at my home the next day. The training was amazing, they came back a couple times and trained more. They even brought a team (trainer and dog) to ensure my pups could face temptations. Just an amazing organization. There when you need them and truly care about what they do! I recommend Hidden Fence of MN and the team they have working with them!"
"Max and the team at Ridgeline Fence and Deck were incredibly efficient and put up a beautiful cedar fence around my home. From the customer service to the craftsmanship and attention to detail, everything turned out spectacular. Highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a fence in the twin cities / greater metro area!"
You shouldn’t try to touch the electric fence, as it will shock you. Typically, the shock is low enough to be uncomfortable to humans or animals that come into contact with the fence. But an electric fence with high voltage, or a faulty fence, could shock you and cause serious injuries when touched.
A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.
Fence pickets typically face out (away from your home or the garden that you're enclosing). Both the rails and pickets sit on the outside of a fence so that anyone passing by can see the finished side. Not only does the look increase your curb appeal, but it's also the neighborly thing to do when placing a barrier between two properties, even when you're installing a privacy fence.
How long a fence lasts, including a split rail fence, will depend on the material from which it’s made. The average lifespan of a wood fence is about 15 to 20 years. However, split rail fences made out of premium materials, like composite, vinyl, steel, or aluminum, can last for 25 to 30 years or more, especially if you take good care of the material and carry out necessary maintenance.
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.
