Fences can be tricky, time-consuming projects to do right, but can take even longer to do wrong. There are so many types of fencing and gates and types of locations for both, it can be a bit overwhelming. First look at what your neighbors are doing for fences and gates, get some good ideas to start.

  1. Pricing can vary dramatically depending on length of fence, material used, style of fence, hardware, gates (walk through/drive through), access for equipment, terrain, etc. The easiest way to know how much it will cost is to get a free quote from a landscape pro.
  2. Account for debris removal if there is an existing fence or foliage that needs to be removed. This is often overlooked, but you can likely do this step yourself easier than other steps.
  3. Staining is an important step to help extend the fence’s lifetime and can give the fence a higher end look. Longer lasting is good, and sealing the wood can be a very effective step to making your fence and gates last longer.
  4. Every fence is completely different so it’s pretty difficult to predict an investment without putting everything down in writing with a landscape pro. You can always look around online for general information, and we hope that this blog has helped.
