"He wasn't the first choice due to price, but he matched the price and was able to complete the job before the first company could even start the fence. Love the outcome!"
"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."

"From day one they were very responsive and patient. I have an older unit that needed some extra work and they were super helpful getting it ready to put on the market. I would definitely hire M&K again. Thanks!"
"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."
The maximum recommended slope on which you can build a racked or stepped fence is 45 degrees. After that, construction becomes quite tricky and may require the use of retaining walls or terraces to make the fenced area flatter.
The recommended height for a garden fence depends on its primary purpose. For pest control, the necessary height varies by animal. To keep out small pests like rabbits, a fence should be at least two to three feet tall. If you live in an area with deer, you will need a much taller fence, at least five feet high, to prevent them from jumping over. If the main goal is privacy, the fence should be at least seven feet tall. For purely decorative fences, the height is a matter of personal preference.
The most common type of metal fence today is one made of either steel or aluminum. These materials are relatively easy to fabricate, making them much more cost-effective than traditional metal fencing handmade from wrought iron. They’re also much lighter and easier to install, contributing to their affordability and making them more DIY-friendly.
A chain-link fence does not lower your property value. However, chain links are not the most attractive materials—so it probably won’t raise the value either. If this is a concern, opt for wooden posts to provide visual flair and go with a color coating on your fence. Putting in a functional and attractive gate also helps up your resale value when installing a chain-link fence.
You’ll need to bury the garden fence about 1 foot underground. It’s tempting to save on materials by burying the fence just a couple of inches, but if you do so, determined pests will still be able to dig under the fence and access your plants. Burying your garden fence deep into the soil is an important step that allows you to attach a wire barrier to the fencing.
Burrowing animals (like voles, moles, rabbits, and gophers) can’t dig or chew through this wiring, meaning that you’ll be keeping your prized petunias or your robust veggie garden from being eaten.
