Long Fence

Time required is extremely variable. What materials will you be using? Chain link, for instance, installs faster than wood. How much space are you enclosing with the fence? Is the terrain flat and unobstructed? Wooded? Rugged? Into what kind of soil will you be placing posts? (Rocks take extra time and effort.) Installing a fence, particularly digging the holes, can be very strenuous work, particularly for a long fence and in rocky soil.

Determine your fence style and materials based on your needs and your home’s architecture. Will the fence be purely an aesthetic landscaping feature? Are you looking for absolute privacy? Will it be used to control access to a pool, protect the children’s play area or prevent your dog from escaping? Your answers will go a long way in determining what type of fence is best for you.

Contact your local utility companies to help you determine the location of underground gas, water and power lines. The service is usually free.

We have three different options for decking: treated wood with stabilizers, composite or vinyl. All three products offer benefits to the homeowner depending on their lifestyle, budget and individual preferences.

Our standard installation is to keep the deck floor below the door threshold to prevent moisture from “wicking” into the doorframe and causing rot. We will, however, build a deck tight to the threshold when instructed by a homeowner or in applications that require full accessibility.

Adding a fence to enclose all or part of the yard, or a deck or patio to your residential property will, in most cases, add to the value of the property upon appraisal or assessment.

If you are ever uncertain about your installation date, please contact your sales associate for clarification.
