Our Wood Fence Installation Process
Layout & Post Setting
The fence line is carefully laid out, and post holes are dug below the frost line and set in concrete for maximum stability.
Framework & Panels
Horizontal rails are attached to the posts, followed by the individual pickets or panels to create the body of the fence.
Gate Installation & Finishing
The final step is to hang and balance the gates for smooth operation and add any finishing touches like post caps.
Why Professional Installation is Essential
A fence is only as strong as its foundation. A professional installation ensures your fence will stand straight and strong for years, withstanding wind, weather, and time.
- Proper Post Setting: This is the most critical step. A pro will dig deep enough and use concrete to create a solid foundation that won't lean or heave.
- Property Line Accuracy: An experienced contractor will ensure your fence is built precisely on your property line, avoiding costly disputes with neighbors.
- Quality Materials & Tools: Professionals use high-quality, pressure-treated lumber and have the specialized tools, like power augers, to do the job efficiently.

Does wood fence installation require a permit?
Yes, most municipalities require a permit for fence installation, especially if the fence is over a certain height (usually 6 or 8 feet) or if it borders a public area.
