"The team at All American Fences was very responsive and was fairly priced. We were able to get a split rail fence installed fairly quickly and couldn't be happier with the work."

"Great service and a beautiful fence! Lotsa Fence clearly demonstrated their knowledge of how to build a quality fence that lasts for years (25+ year pressure-treated wood). I'm so happy with how the fence turned out, especially with our sloped and asymmetric property lines."

"I recently hired M.C. Fence & Deck, LLC to install an aluminum fence, and it turned out fantastic. Hunter was a pleasure to work with, professional, helpful, and easy to communicate with. He made sure everything was measured right, set correctly, and finished on time. I would definitely recommend M.C. Fence & Deck, LLC to anyone looking for strong fences and friendly service. Thank you, Hunter, for making the whole process simple and stress-free!"

"Bought a voucher for 3 hours work, which was enough to repair segment of rear wood fence.  Did good job so got him to do 5 more hours of work to repair front segment of wood fence.  I went to lumber store to buy needed materials, though he would have (but I would have paid for it).  Moises was the name of the handyman.  Hard worker and skilled.

"Manny was great and was a reliable contractor working on a large fence restoration. He was timely to arrive each morning and painted my fence quickly and better than my neighbors and at a lower price. He paid attention to detail and was an honest contractor. When he had problems, he communicated it to me quickly and gave me ample time to try and find a resolution. Would use again."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The ideal spacing for four-by-four residential fence posts is usually about 6 to 8 feet between posts. However, if the fence is particularly high or you live in a very windy region, you might want to space them closer together for better stability. A fence pro can help you decide on your post spacing. 

It’s usually cheaper to buy pre-made fence panels than to build your own. This surprises many people since DIY tasks so often save money. However, large stores don’t have to pay the same amount per board of wood that homeowners do, allowing them to sell pre-made panels at a more cost-effective rate. Pre-made panels also save a great deal of time, energy, and guesswork. The drawback is that they are harder to customize to the shape and slope of your yard.

You can buy wrought iron fencing from a trusted fence installation company near you. You could also opt to buy it privately from a homeowner who is interested in recycling their own wrought iron materials. Manufacturers stopped mass production of wrought iron as steel became more affordable to produce, so you likely won't find it in any local big box stores.

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.

Silt fences are very effective when installed correctly and used in proper locations. However, there are places where they don’t work as well. This includes property with a concentrated water flow, where runoff could pool or cause a flooding hazard. You’ll also want to use caution when installing in areas susceptible to landslides. Your contractor will follow state guidelines and know when an alternate solution is more effective.
