"We had a great experience with Augustus Landscaping & Design! They removed our old wood deck and replaced it with a beautiful Trex deck, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. They were professional, hardworking, and clearly took pride in their work. They showed up on time, communicated well throughout the project, and made sure everything was done right. The deck looks beautiful!"

"Bestco Fence Company did a great job for me. Tom, the owner, is very knowledgeable and was able to offer ideas about unique spots in my yard that another fence company couldn t or didn t offer. The workmanship is very high-quality. My only complaint for Tom when the job was complete is that the installers could ve done a little bit better job cleaning up. Overall I would highly recommend them if you re looking to install a fence. I have received many positive comments from neighbors and passersby about how beautiful the fence is."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The ideal distance between fence posts depends on several factors, including the terrain, the purpose of the fence, and the material used. For different types of fences, here are some general guidelines:

  • Wood and Metal Fences: Posts should be spaced between 5 and 8 feet apart.

  • Vinyl Fences: Spacing can be between 6 and 8 feet.

  • Chain-Link, Mesh, or Lattice Fences: Posts can be set anywhere from 4 to 25 feet apart, with 4-10 feet being common for chain-link.

  • Wire Fences: Spacing can be up to 12 feet apart.

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again. 

DIY installation is possible for small fences or sections. However, professional installation is recommended for larger projects to ensure proper alignment, stability, durability, correct post setting, and compliance with local zoning codes.

A wobbly fence can be caused by a number of things, though poor installation is the usual culprit. It’s always best to have your fence installed by a professional who can ensure the posts are placed correctly and that the chain links have the correct amount of tension.

The most common height of a front yard fence is around 3 feet high, but it can vary depending on your zoning laws. If your fence is meant to create privacy, something closer to 6 feet or higher will do the trick. Most of the time, the highest fence you’ll see is 8 feet tall.
