"There were some issues with my neighbors just two days before the fence was supposed to go up. Paul was very nice accommodating our issue. The fence looks great and we can now let our dog enjoy the backyard, as can we."
"Excellent. The tree roots had grown into the neighbor's fence which made the job more difficult. Raul was mindful of this and took care not to damage the fence. He was on time for the estimate appointment and for the removal of the stump. He is courteous and professional. I recommend him ."
"Mr. Serrano’s son, Erick, and his workers did a fantastic job installing the fence. They were prompt and professional. The fence is beautiful and we are pleased with the outcome. We highly recommend Serrano Fence & Son, Inc."
"Very responsive and came fast. Made me feel comfortable when they have a price quote. The most reasonable price quote that I got out of 4-5 other quotes. They did an excellent job installing the fence. They made all the right decisions when trouble shooting how to place the fence. The entire staff was polite and finished the job quickly. Would highly recommend them."
"Excellent service. Done on time and on budget. Installed a beautiful new fence around my yard in one day, took care of some necessary landscaping (cutting out tree stumps, trimming back trees and cutting roots to accommodate the fence), cleaned up thoroughly when they were done. Very good experience."

Privacy fences in residential neighborhoods tend to stand between 6 and 8 feet tall, but local building code usually dictates the maximum height. Livestock fences that border large land plots range from 3 to 6 feet. Shorter, decorative fences, which are common in front yards, are around 3 feet tall, on average. Fence height also tends to vary by material, with wood fences usually sitting at 6 feet tall, and chain-link and wrought iron fences tending to sit at half that.
The most durable metal for a fence is wrought iron. With proper care, a wrought iron fence can last for centuries. This means regular resealing to stave off rust and corrosion, especially in coastal climates with salty sea air. In these environments, chain link and corrugated fencing tend to stand up better to the elements with fewer maintenance needs.
Wattle fences are typically around 4 feet tall, but they can be built taller or shorter depending on their intended use. Taller fences may require additional reinforcements, such as thicker posts or tighter weaving, to ensure the fence’s stability and durability against wind and other elements.
A well-maintained pipe fence can last anywhere from 20 to 50 years, depending on factors like material, climate, and maintenance. Galvanized or coated pipes resist rust and corrosion better than other alternatives, so they tend to last longer, especially in humid or wet environments. Routine maintenance, such as inspecting for damage, removing rust, and applying protective coatings, helps extend the fence’s lifespan significantly.
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.
