"Smaller operation towo or three, but was quick to contact me gave me good price and repaired fence promptly. I had him do two railed fences at my apartment complex after fence repair. I have him preparing quote to redo garage interior, his verbal quote was very reasonable and If written quote is about the same as verbal I will use him for that. Would highly recommend."

"I worked with Joe fall of 2020 to install a post and wire fence on my property with four board fencing along the road frontage. In bidding the project I reached out to six different fencing contractors in CVille and the surrounding area - Joe was BY FAR the most responsive and easiest to work with. After hashing out the project details via email and phone he promptly did a walk down of the property and generated a bid his prices were competitive with bids I received from the other contractors. On the first day of the install, Joe and his crew did an excellent job walking the project with me to ensure the fence line details were just what I wanted. The back corner of the property is somewhat complex with a stand of trees we wanted to keep intact. This crew did a great job working through the tight space and we were able to keep all the trees. My wife and I are both so pleased with the final result and could not be happier with the aesthetic improvements and function the fencing brought to our property! Joe was timely and supremely easy to work with during the entire process from initial project discussion, bid generation, fence detail negotiations, installation, and quality control/final inspection upon delivery. We can not recommend Joe enough!"

"We had a tree that needed to be removed and talked with them in Sept. There were a few delays and then we had to be out of town for about 6 weeks. The project was put on hold until we returned. The tree fell 4 days after we returned. It took quite a bit of planning and cooperation of neighbors as the tree had been wedged in one of their trees down a rather steep slope. A lot of planning was needed to make this very large oak tree safe. The beech tree it was caught in will hopefully survive as one main branch had to be removed and the other one was cut down closer to the v of the tree. A small crane was brought in so that he could access the tree. Little to no damage happened with the use of this. The clean up was well done and nice small logs were stacked neatly for the neighbors who got lots of wood to burn. They even fixed our chainlink fence that had been bent by a branch that had fallen way before the tree fell. The tree fortunately came down across a small creek and now makes a bridge across it for anyone with decent balance. Way too difficult and expensive to get the very long main trunk out. Enjoyed talking with him after the project was completed. Price was reasonable also."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

It is almost always necessary to hire a land surveyor near you to ensure your fence sits on the right side of the property line. Mistaking the shape of your property can lead to fines and costly changes if you have to move or adjust the privacy fence—not to mention some surly looks from your neighbor. We recommend jumpstarting your fence planning in the spring to ensure there is plenty of time to map out your plan before construction season.

The depth of your post hole depends on your post length. If you decide on a two-rail fence, the posts are likely 6 feet long. You want your hole to be at least 1/3 of the post length. In this case, your post hole should be two feet deep.

If you opt for a three-rail fence, the posts will typically be 7 feet long, meaning your post hole should be 28 inches deep.

While they can be closer, the maximum distance between fence posts for residential fences is 8 feet. This ensures the panels are adequately supported by the fence posts. This is usually dictated by the width of the panel, which is typically between 5 and 8 feet. While narrower panels will require more posts, they’ll be lighter and easier to work with than wider panels that are the same height.

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.
