To all, Sawmill Fencing Employs only five members or six to include myself. The due amount is to be payable upon the completed work and a walk around with all homeowners. The walk around would be conducted with either myself or a foreman that is on Site. Every fence install has at least one foreman on site. I want nothing up front as that is fraudulent in my book! I want all to be happy before I accept a penny from anybody.

"I walked with Mike and showed him where I wanted my fence to be and, for whatever reason, he did not quote me to where I wanted it to be. When his "crew" showed up I noticed they weren't putting the fence where I wanted and so I spoke to them and called Mike. He proceeded to tell me he was going to have to charge me $400 MORE than the quote because of materials etc (no additional materials were ever delivered). The first day 4 workers showed up, next day 3, then 2 for a couple of days and, even though my fence wasn't even half finished, one guy came out for the last couple of days. Most of the time his crew sat on the materials on their phones while 1 or 2 of the guys actually worked (when there was actually more than 1 person here). Both my gates sag, one part of my fence had a 12 foot section with no 2x4 to hold it up, one section leans outward, not all the boards are attached properly. I alerted Mike right away and sent pictures regarding all the issues and Mike said he was going to have to charge me additional to come out and fix it!!!! WHAT?! I explained who I was and the issues I had during installation and he said oh I'll come and fix it when I can. It's been excuse after excuse of why he is unable to fix INCLUDING that he is busy with paying jobs (so my $4,700 doesn't count as paying?), I'm borrowing a truck for work because mine was totaled and I can't drive it everywhere. It's a business.... you borrowed said truck FOR your business. It has been 2.5 years and he has yet to fix my issues (so much for a life time warranty right?). I paid someone else quite a bit of money to come out and fix what Mike's company did wrong. He sweet talks you with fairy tales of quality materials and workmanship with lifetime warranties. He talks about how he donates to this and that and all he is is a scam artist. DO NOT USE SAWMILL FENCING!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

By securing posts deeply and ensuring proper drainage around foundations.

Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. 

Yes, fence posts need to be installed below the frost line to ensure stability and prevent heaving caused by freezing and thawing cycles. The frost line is the depth at which soil freezes during winter. By placing posts below this line, often around 3 to 4 feet deep or as recommended for your specific region, you reduce the risk of the ground shifting, which can lead to leaning or unstable fences. Adequate depth provides better anchoring and helps maintain the fence's integrity, ensuring it remains secure and upright throughout changing seasons.

One of the best features of composite fences is their long lifespan. You can expect your composite fence to last 20 to 30 years. It lasts long because it consists of recycled plastic and wood fibers. The plastic offers durability that wood alone can’t provide. It’s mold- and rot-resistant, as well as weather-resistant.

Pickets should sit at least 2 inches off the ground to encourage groundwater to flow underneath. Pickets can sit as much as 6 inches off the ground, but setting it any higher could let pets in or out of your yard unintentionally. These are not to be confused with the fence posts anchored underground with soil or concrete footing.
