"DanDale Fence was a wonderful company to work with. Jamie the sales person was our first contact and he was absolutely the best. I had a good vibe with him which made me make the decision to go with DanDale Fence. The install crew was even more impressive with their hard working attitude and professionalism that knocked it out of the park for me. They completed the install in two long hard working days, that’s 516 linear feet of fence, Wow!! The fence is not only perfect it has enhanced the beauty of our home! Highly recommend DanDale Fence Company! They Rock!!"

"Expectations exceeded all around! I called multiple places for a free estimate (doing my due diligence to shop around.) The owner came out and walked off the area that I wanted fenced in. And the following two reasons is why I decided on LAV Fence. 1.) He did not try to tell me what I wanted nor upsell me something I did not need. 2.) He gave me a estimate before leaving (YES! THAT DAY!) The several other companies including Lowes that came out to do estimates and no one else did either. He scheduled to do the fence the following week. The day of- 5 hours later I have a beautiful, sturdy reasonably (better than others) priced fence. I could not be happier! My dog loves it for his own reasons :) But for quality and service reasons LAV Fence is the best option."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, fence posts need to be installed below the frost line to ensure stability and prevent heaving caused by freezing and thawing cycles. The frost line is the depth at which soil freezes during winter. By placing posts below this line, often around 3 to 4 feet deep or as recommended for your specific region, you reduce the risk of the ground shifting, which can lead to leaning or unstable fences. Adequate depth provides better anchoring and helps maintain the fence's integrity, ensuring it remains secure and upright throughout changing seasons.

This depends mainly on how well the posts were installed and what type of wood was used to build the gate in the first place. Softwoods have a life expectancy of up to 15 years but can last slightly longer with regular maintenance and waterproofing treatments. By contrast, hardwoods can last up to 30 years with little care, so you may avoid costly replacements by spending a little more upfront.

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.

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.
