"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."

"I love my new fence! It looks amazing and is well constructed. The team was respectful and efficient and they started and completed the project within the exact time window I was given, in spite of the intense heat the days they worked and an issue where their lumber supplier did not deliver the wood as planned. The team went to pick up the wood themselves and still completed the work on time! They were also quick to respond to my quote request and the work was completed just a few weeks after I first contacted them. I had a really good experience with this team and have already recommended them to friends! I would hire them again if needed, though the fence is so well constructed I do not anticipate needing their services again any time soon."

"Black Diamond did a great job working with us to put up our six foot privacy fence. Even when we encounterd a few hiccups along the way (nosy neighbor, some code issues, and bad weather), they hung in there and got the job done in reasonable time. The fence looks great. Thanks!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your fence materials. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts.

Costs depend on material, labor, and additional features like gates or decorative elements.
