"Very well. Gary was very good to deal with. His quote for the job came in over 30% lower than another Angi-recommended contractor. The laborers worked very hard over two days, especially digging out and putting in posts. We didn't deal with them too much but they did a great job and the fencing looks good."

"Our split rail fence was damaged in a storm and A Touch of Nature did a great job with the repair. Justin gave us many options that were very cost effective. We were so impressed that we also hired them to clear out some scrub growth and small trees in the back of our property. The job they did exceeded our expectations and we will be hiring them for more projects...hopefully soon! 100% recommend A Touch of Nature."

"Spoke with Kevin. Very friendly and helpful. It was a sress free interaction. Him and one other person built my fence within the time frame he stated. Was always punctual and communicated well. Cleaned up their work area when they were done. Called him for other projects after that. He also did some work for my mother-in-law and she was also very happy with the quality of their work."

"Overall they did a good job with a spring cleanup and mulch. I had specifically asked for edging to be done and some overflowing mulch to be removed along a walkway so mulch does not spill out onto the sidewalk. This was not done. The workers also cut down 5 hydrangea bushes that had buds on them. I emailed about this and never heard back."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

There are many types of wood fencing that you can choose from. For split rail fencing, the most common wood types are cedar, pine, black locust, and chestnut. The best wood for you will depend on if you like the way a certain wood looks and the availability of the wood type in your area.

Most of the wood types you can find at your local home improvement store are good choices since they all have rot-resistant properties or are pressure-treated with pesticides. If none of the wood options speak to the look you’re going for, check out vinyl fencing.

In most cases, you will need a building permit to put up a vinyl fence, especially if the fence is sitting on or close to your property line. You can ask your local building department or  fence installation company if your fence project will require a permit. If so, you can expect it to cost between $20 and $60. Your fence installer should pull the permit for you. Building without a permit could eventually require you to pay again to remove the fence and reinstall it after getting the job approved.

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.

The bottom strand should sit between 12 to 15 inches from the ground. If you have a problem with small critters, you can aim for 8 inches. Three-strand fences should be 16 to 19 inches apart, four-strand fences should be 10 to 12 inches apart, and five-strand fences should be 8 and 10 inches apart.
