"Matt and his team at Salt Valley Fence did a terrific job on our fence. They were able to complete the job about two weeks ahead of schedule. Matt also followed up a few months later to ensure that we were satisfied. Great experience with Salt Valley Fence"
"Oscar did a great job repairing my wood fence. He went out of his way to get the correct posts to match the rest of my fence replacing 3 posts and re-attaching 5 sections of fence to the new posts. My fence is now set for many years to come!"
"There are a lot of choices on what you can do on a home for “projects”. The best decision I made in 30 years was to fix our dilapidated fence. So I had choices! Lots of choices. I was guided to Ruben at M & R Fence company and am so thankful for the recommendation that I wanted to do the same for someone else who is thinking of putting up a new fence or replacing an old one. They exceeded our expectations. Off the charts exceeding. So look no further."

"The project was top notch. Not only did they consistently show up on time, but they finished the project early and were willing to reschedule the final walkthrough multiple times to accommodate our schedule. Final project turned out great! They worked efficiently and paid close attention to details. The price was way below the competition. I have received many compliments."
"Replaced a fence post. They did not tear up my yard, nor did they leave a mess when they completed the job. They came 2 days after we agreed to have them do the work. Seem very reliable."
"Amazing customer service! Fixed my roof and then came back a few days later to repaint it for free! Jimenez does great work and will make sure your job is done right 👍"
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.
Check for gaps or weak spots where your dog could escape and seal them. Remove toxic plants, chemicals, and potentially hazardous items. The list includes cocoa bean mulch, which is harmful to pups if ingested.
It's also essential to provide shade and fresh water. You may want to consider installing a dog-friendly surface on concrete areas like artificial turf. Additionally, regularly inspect for potential hazards, such as sharp objects or broken glass. Most importantly, supervise your dog during outdoor time to ensure their safety.
The best under-gate dog barrier is one that extends to the ground. This effectively keeps dogs in and won't give them room to squeeze through. However, dogs that dig can still get under the barrier. Deter digging by paving the ground beneath the gate or filling it in with rocks or gravel. Be careful using wire to extend dog gates, as the sharp ends may cut or hurt your dog's paws.
A chain link fence typically lasts between 15 and 20 years, but with proper maintenance, it can last for 30 years or more. To preserve the fence, it's important to keep the mesh wire tight, which can be done with a come-along tool every 6 to 12 months. Investing in a fence with a galvanized, powder-coated, or vinyl-coated finish can increase its lifespan to 20 to 30 years and reduce maintenance needs, as these coatings provide extra protection against the elements.
Deer can crawl under a fence if it has a gap of around 6 inches or more. Make sure to close all gaps at the bottom of your fence to keep deer out, and the bottom of the material should be tightly secured, or the deer will push right through it. As an added benefit, closing shorter gaps at the bottom of a fence can also keep rabbits out of your yard.
