Customers say: Quality work

"Adam and his team are very hard workers. There were a few issues that surfaced throughout the process and Adam address all in a professional manner. Adam offered to deliver more rock that I requested, Adam gave me, a disabled Veteran, a 10% military discount, he saved me money by showing me how to move the sprinkler heads out of the way of the fence, I questioned Adam about securing the bottom of fence to keep puppies in and initially he said, that would be extra and after some discussion, Adam said he would do this stabilization for me at no cost. Adam is very efficient and answered my texts or phone calls in a timely manner. Adam also agreed to allow me to pay half upon completion of fence and pay the other half the next month. Overall, I am very satisfied with Adam and his team and I would highly recommend him to others. He is honest, hard working and patient and those are the traits in a successful business."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

You can use soil and gravel instead of concrete when setting fence posts. However, concrete is more durable and longer lasting, so it's worth considering if you want your fence to withstand the test of time. You should especially consider concrete if you live in a region that experiences severe weather, which can damage your fence.

Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your fence materials. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts.

There are several options for post materials. Depending on where you live, the weather, and what kind of durability you want, you can choose from wood, steel or concrete posts for a barbed wire fence. Your corner and end posts should be especially strong in order to maintain the structural integrity of the fence. 

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.

The price of purchasing and installing a fence around a pool is dependent on the type of fence material you choose. On average, a pool fence can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000+. Chain link and mesh fences are the least expensive options, while a fully glass fence will cost the most. Having an inground or above-ground pool will also be a key factor in determining fence prices.
