Gathering Supplies

We order all the necessary fencing materials and hardware needed for your project. For special order decorative items like aluminum panels or iron gates, 4-6 week lead times are common.

Some projects also require:

• Permits – We take care of acquiring any required permits from your city.
• Surveying – For properties with grade changes, we may survey and mark to determine exact post placements.
• Excavation – If substantial digging is needed for post holes, we can coordinate equipment rentals.
• Removals – We can demo and dispose of old fencing if necessary to start fresh.

Taking care of these preliminaries means your actual install will go smoothly and efficiently.

Preparing the Site

Before installation, we prepare the site following final grades and layout markings. Tasks may involve:

• Leveling and clearing fence footprint area
• Laying gravel, sand, or paver base along footing
• Installing sleeves under driveways or sidewalks where fencing will pass through
• Digging post holes per local code – often 1/3 depth of the fence
• Setting temporary offset string line for post spacing

Proper site prep prevents problems down the road like shifting posts or decaying wood.

Installing Fence Posts and Panels

Now the fun part – bringing your decorative fence design to life! With materials ready and site prepped, we efficiently install:

• Fence posts plumbed into holes using concrete or metal brackets to secure
• Horizontal cross members attached to posts with fasteners
• Decorative fencing panels, pickets, or rails secured to frame
• Caps to enclose top of posts in a finished look

For wrought iron or aluminum, sections are welded together for seamless strength. We use precision tools and techniques to create structures that will endure for decades.

Completing with Gates, Stain, and More

The final touches involve adding any gates, walks, lighting or other accessories to complement your decorative fencing. Other tasks may involve:

• Staining or sealing wood fencing to protect from weathering
• Installing electronic gate locks, automatic openers, or keypads
• Adding lighting fixtures aimed at fence lines or pointing up for ambiance
• Pouring concrete cap along bottom retainer walls for clean finish
• Clean up of entire fence area, hauling away debris

When our team leaves your property, your new decorative fence will look like it has always been there. All that’s left for you to do is enjoy it!
