"North Stars Fence team was exceptionally efficient and fast. Ive called for three different Fence section repairs and each one was done better than my expectations. I highly recommend this company if you need any fencing work done. They were very respectful of the new grass seeded areas as they performed there job. Thank you."
"I hired them to install a fence to match my neighbors existing fence. The existing fence was installed by a company called Clover. The attention to detail and perfection exhibited by Nimmer Co out shines the other company by miles. They took great care not to destroy my grass by placing plywood down as they drive their equipment around. I wish I could post comparison photos but the dumb site only allows for 5mb worth of pictures. So here is one showing how straight the fence is. Look how perfectly in line that is."
"Ryan has an eye for the art of fence making. He customized our fence for our yard and fit it to our landscaping in a way the previous fence did not - and it is incredibly sturdy (which you would obviously want from a fence.) Additionally, when I realized a design issue I had not communicated properly about, Ryan quickly changed it around for us. I would hire Ryan again in a heart beat."
"We hired Deandre and his crew for our fence project. He tore down the old fence and hauled away. They then installed a cedar fence along our property line. Communication was great. The job was done promptly, and efficiently. Looks great at a fair price. Will be calling him again."
"They have done a very good job mowing our lawn for the last three years. They have also done some trimming of our bushes and general yard clean-up in the spring and fall. Again they are friendly and professional."
"The work that this team did was amazing. My storm damaged fence was rebuilt, cleaned and re-stained in a short amout of time. I am 100% happy with this whole crew"
In most cases, a fence can only be built on your property with your consent. Not obtaining permission constitutes an encroachment and a violation of your property rights. However, exceptions may apply, such as when the fence is entirely within the property boundaries of the person putting it up and the fence complies with local zoning laws and regulations. If you think a fence infringes on your property or is not up to local standards, consult with local authorities or legal experts to address the issue and protect your property rights.
There are two things you can do to make a fence replacement easier—but keep in mind that easier doesn’t mean better. First, you can use a jack or some other type of machinery to pull the post out of the ground. If that’s not available, a digging bar can help.
Second, you can backfill the hole with gravel rather than creating a concrete footing. Keep in mind, gravel is less secure. You should only use it if you’re installing a lightweight fence or have heavier, clay soil.
A wrought iron fence is generally considered a worthwhile investment, provided the cost fits your budget and its characteristics meet your needs. While it is an expensive material, its exceptional durability and longevity mean you can save money over time by not having to replace it.
Key benefits include:
Durability and Security: Wrought iron is strong and provides excellent security for your home.
Longevity: With proper maintenance, it can last a lifetime or longer.
Aesthetics: It offers a classy, timeless, and elegant look that can boost your home's curb appeal and property value, especially when complementing brick or stone architecture.
However, it's important to note that wrought iron fencing does not offer much privacy. If professionally installed and maintained, it is a sound long-term investment.
Post depth for shadowbox fences should be at least two feet deep plus an additional foot for every foot of fence height above four feet. For a standard six-foot fence, this means a minimum depth of 3 feet. This depth helps to protect the structural integrity of your fence in the face of wind, soil movement, and seasonal ground shifts
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.
