"I received 3 quotes and British Standard Fencing was the best quote which included both labor and materials. The 2 fellows who completed the labor worked hard. They removed the old posts and fencing and had to put in new posts and fencing. They were here for 4 days. It was a pleasure doing business with British Standard Fencing. I would recommend them to anyone needing fencing."
"They did a great job! They repaired both the wooden fence and the chain link fence. It looks so good! We can definitely recommend them based on our experience with them."

Ken was a great consultant on the design and materials and was extremely flexible, giving us a variety of options and adjusting with our changing desires - even through the estimate/build process. Their end product was beautiful with extreme protein the quality and details. I highly recommend him. Ben Breazeale Black Mountain, NC"
"These two gentlemen came Early to the job, worked hard and accomplished the Fence & post removal quickly and diligently (no breaks!) They pick it all up and hauled it away for me. I plan to hire them again. Highly recommended!"
"These guys were able to complete an estimate for me the same day that I called! They gave me a couple of ideas and options for the project and an estimate for each idea. When I chose the one I liked, their prices were very competitive. The work started the next week and was completed in 2 days. My new fence is beautiful! They even custom built 2 gates. Could not be happier with the professionalism and craftsmanship of this job!"
"Jonnie was very nice and did a nice repair on my parent’s black chain link fence that a tree had fallen on. He ended up driving A LOT further to find the parts needed for the repair, but he did not increase his original quote. Thank you, very much! Sorry I didn’t take after photos but it looks fine."
A silt fence should be buried in a trench that is 6 to 12 inches deep. A depth of at least 6 to 8 inches is necessary to prevent water and sediment from running underneath the fence. A deeper trench, up to 12 inches, provides better anchoring during wet and windy weather. To ensure proper installation, look for a red line on the silt fence fabric, which often indicates the correct burial depth. Always adhere to local guidelines and regulations; a professional contractor will be familiar with these requirements.
The ideal spacing for four-by-four residential fence posts is usually about 6 to 8 feet between posts. However, if the fence is particularly high or you live in a very windy region, you might want to space them closer together for better stability. A fence pro can help you decide on your post spacing.
A setback is an area of space between your fence and the property line, meaning you build a fence a few inches before your neighbor’s property begins. You can build your fence on a setback—some communities recommend this—but this means a sliver of your property will be on your neighbor’s side of your fence.
Pallet fences come with built-in support through the fence posts you should install on each side of their vertical interior. Stand the fence upright and slide it onto the fence posts, then further support it with 2x4 wood boards that you drill across each point where two pallets connect side-by-side.
To maintain a chain link fence and extend its lifespan, perform routine checks and cleaning. This includes inspecting for rust, tightening any loose bolts or hardware, and removing debris buildup. These steps help preserve the fence's appearance and function.
