"We hired Southland Structures to build a fence around our backyard, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. James was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, offering several options that suited our needs and budget. He and his crew were professional, attentive, and truly committed to making sure the final result matched our vision. They asked detailed questions, listened closely, and delivered exactly what we were hoping for—if not more. The fence turned out even better than we imagined. To top it off, they started the project well ahead of schedule and completed the entire build in just two days. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend James, his team, and Southland Structures for any project. They’ll be our first call for any future building needs."

"Erik Finley and his assistant Jamie did an excellent job building a 5-ft wide, 68-ft long bridge across part of my lake and building an 8x8 dock on one end and a 5x8 landing with staircase and handrails on the high end of the bridge. Professionalism and customer focus is how his company operates. A joy to work with. I would recommend BNF Construction to anyone who appreciates quality work, attention to detail, and economical price."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

How long a fence lasts, including a split rail fence, will depend on the material from which it’s made. The average lifespan of a wood fence is about 15 to 20 years. However, split rail fences made out of premium materials, like composite, vinyl, steel, or aluminum, can last for 25 to 30 years or more, especially if you take good care of the material and carry out necessary maintenance.

Retaining walls offer more value to a home if they also divert water, prevent erosion, or help support a foundation. The ROI of a retaining wall is between 100% and 200%.

Both fences and walls can increase your home’s value, but you’ll spend significantly more on a wall than you would on a fence. A stone wall costs approximately $5,000, a retaining wall costs $6,100, and a fence costs $3,200 on average to put prices in perspective. 

If the fence is on one neighbor’s property, that person is responsible for repairs, regardless of who benefits from the fence more. The other neighbor must keep trees and other obstacles from crossing the property line and affecting the fence. If the fence is directly on the property line, though, who owns a shared fence? Many states have laws that address this issue. Typically, the two property owners would share responsibilities and costs for fence maintenance and repair. You may need a property line survey to precisely determine ownership and responsibility.

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.
