"We had such a great experience with our fence installation! The team was professional, reliable, and really paid attention to the details. Everything was done efficiently, they kept the area clean, and communication was great throughout the whole process. Our new fence looks amazing and feels super sturdy, and it completely transformed our yard. We?re so happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality work!!"

"I considered Jeff to re-enforce a double wide carport with new poles. The entire carport was leaning that we noticed after a recent storm in May. My biggest concern was that the job was too big for one person due to the safety concerns. Jeff has an extensive work history on construction and appeared to be very skilled and very capable to do the work. After dealing with the city permit requirements, we now face some challenges and have found ourselves having to demolish the old structure to meet the new set back in the backyard where the carport resides and rebuild new. I would love to work with Jeff in the future on other projects for sure. Very nice, personable and hard working."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

Paint your fence, install customized fence slats, or attach a bamboo screen for a more appealing yard aesthetic. Paint can give your yard a unique and fun look, and adding fence slats gives you a classic fence appearance. Bamboo screens are probably the most unique option that can add a fun vibe to your space.

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.

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.
