How does fence installation work?
Fence Installation follows 4 clear steps, from survey and plan to a final walkthrough. A vetted, licensed pro manages the schedule, keeps the site clean, and does not consider the job done until you are satisfied.
Survey and plan
We locate your property pins, call for utility marking, and plan post spacing, gate placement, and fence line with you.
Post setting
Holes are dug to frost depth, posts are set plumb in concrete, and left to cure fully before any panels are attached.
Panel and rail installation
Rails and panels or pickets are installed level and plumb, with consistent spacing and clean transitions at corners and gates.
Gates and finishing
Gates are hung with heavy-duty hardware, adjusted for smooth operation, and all post caps are set for a finished look.
A fence is a long-term investment in your property’s security, privacy, and appearance. The difference between a fence that stands straight for twenty years and one that leans and rots within five is almost entirely in the post setting: depth, concrete, and proper cure time before any load is applied.
We build in wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain-link, and we treat every post hole with the same care regardless of material or budget.

Fence Installation questions, answered.
How deep do fence posts need to be set?
Posts should be set at least one-third of their length below grade, and below your area's frost depth to prevent heaving. For a 6-foot privacy fence, that means 2-foot-deep holes at minimum. Skipping this is the number one cause of leaning fences.
Do I need a permit to install a fence?
Many municipalities require permits for fences over four feet tall or those placed on property lines, and all municipalities require utility marking before any post hole is dug. HOA communities often have additional style and height restrictions. We handle the permit research, HOA submission, and call-before-you-dig service as standard parts of every fence project, no extra effort from you.
