"Joe was an absolute pleasure to work with. I am grateful for his services and professionalism. My huge dogs broke down iron fence. Under warranty, we'll see how long this aluminum fence meets the challenges. Truly love my new fencing!"

"York Fence is definitely a professional organization when it comes to customer service, installation and appearance. Their crew was prompt, organized and very methodical when it came to the installation itself. They cleaned up everything afterwards. Literally, there was nothing to be of concern about when this was over. More importantly, we achieved what we were looking for....privacy. I can't say enough good things about York Fence. Definitely a first class company who treats their customers right."

"They did a good job, their pricing was very competitive and they were right on time, they came when they had to come, they did some extra but did not charge me for it, and they put the fence in and I had no problems with the location, they are very knowledgeable and the clean up was excellent, there was no debris left after their work, and they walked me though the project to make sure that everything was done to my satisfaction. They also do other works, so I was considering hiring them again in the future for my roofing. My neighbor saw my fence and they going to hire Carl again for their fence as well."

"Juan & Precise Fence provide a A+ job at a competing price. We had 600 feet of black aluminum and 400 feet of farmer fence installed at our home. Juan provide the skills do the entire job from start to finish. Other fence companies wanted us to hire other contractors to complete task such as clearing debris, tree limbs removal, leveling yard or constructing a farmer fence. Our fence is incredibly straight and level and was completed quickly. We’re incredibly thankful for Juan’s insights and recommendations. If you want a custom fence with personal care and attention along the way contact Precise Fence. Juan built and cared for the fence as if it was his own. Thank you!"

"We recently had a white vinyl fence installed around our yard. Mike was wonderful to work with from when he initially provided us with a quote and all the way through the project. He was very professional and took time to explain the materials and how the fence would be installed. He also provided us with a detailed quote including a plan of the proposed fence. We met with several other fence contractors, and Mike provided us with the most detailed plan by far. Victor and his crew installed our fence. They were punctual, hardworking, and very professional. Our fence looks amazing! So happy we went with Mike and Modern Fence!"

"All in one fence company... All I can say is WOW !! Ricardo contacted me from angis list, he was prompt professional and answered hundreds of my questions with courtesy and patience. (In our experience with contractors this is very rare) They took down our old wooden fence and installed a new vinyl one that looks absolutely fabulous. The pricing,quality of work and professionalism is unbeatable !! I have already started to refer All in one Fence to my friends and family."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, installing wrought iron fencing will usually require a building permit, as do all types of fencing. Building permits for wrought iron fencing typically cost between $150 and $500, and the price will vary based on where you live and how much your local building department charges. You may also need to pay for a property survey if you’re installing wrought iron fencing on your property line. This type of survey can cost around $500, but it prevents issues with building on neighboring properties, which can be much more expensive in the long run.

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.

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.

You can keep a dog from digging under a fence by filling existing holes in your yard, installing a wire to your fence bottom, burying your fence bottom, making a designated digging spot, and removing visual stimuli. You can also dissuade your dog from wanting to dig under your fence and escape by scheduling more one-on-one playtime and ensuring they are getting enough exercise to keep them stimulated.
