"We have used Service Star for 5 different projects in our back yard. Nick and his crew are very professional on the job site, listened to all of our wishes for our yard, (especially the fact that we did not want the rest of our yard torn up while these projects were occurring), and did beautiful work on all projects. They were not afraid of doing hard work by hand to avoid wear and tear on the existing yard with heavy machinery. We gave Nick the basic idea of what we saw for our yard, let him do the design work, and we are very happy with his eye for design. The jobs were done in a timely fashion, despite the fact that the weather did not cooperate at all times. After each and every workday, all tools and equipment left on site were neatly placed in one spot leaving a tidy worksite. Upon completion of each job, Nick walked through the yard to make sure we were completely satisfied, which we were each and every time. The clean up after each job was impeccable, leaving us with nothing to tend to afterward. We are so happy with all they have done in our back yard that we have just signed for them to do some work in our front yard! All in all, we highly recommend Service Star for your landscaping needs. - Kevin and Kelly, very happy customers!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

When considering how much of a gap should be under a fence or gate, a good rule of thumb is to keep gaps between 2 and 5 inches tall. This allows for some ground clearance for the gate but still provides safety for children and pets, who shouldn’t be able to squeeze through a gap of that size.

Generally, the height of your dog fence should be 3 times the distance from the ground to your dog’s shoulder. For most small breeds, a 4-foot high fence will be more than enough to keep them from jumping out. Medium-sized breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and German Shepherds will need at least a 5-6 foot fence to stay contained. Large breeds that are also excellent jumpers, such as Greyhounds, may need a 7-foot high fence. 

Costs depend on material quality, fence length and height, installation complexity, and customization choices, but they average $20-$40 per linear foot.

In addition to the fence itself, several factors can impact the overall price of putting a fence in. Consider these add-ons and necessary expenses when building your project budget. For example, additional cost factors may include:

  • Removing your existing fence

  • Land leveling and other site work

  • Tree and stump removal

  • New landscaping

  • Working around underground utilities

  • Painting and staining

A barbed wire fence will last an average of 15 to 20 years, but the life expectancy can range anywhere between five and 50 years. Thicker wires last longer, as do fences made with galvanized metal. If the barbed wire fence is in a climate with harsh winters and summers, it likely won’t last more than 10 to 15 years. Failing to keep up with maintenance and repairs will also shorten the lifespan of a barbed wire fence.
