The Lowdown on Fence Installation: What You Need to Know

Hey future fence owners! So you’re ready to change your home up and place in a new fence? Awesome! Whether you’re going to do it by yourself or you're considering the idea of hiring pros, there are a few things you should know in order to help keep the fencing process smooth and most importantly stress-free. Let’s break it down.

First up know your property lines. Seriously the last thing you want is to put up a fence on your neighbor’s land. Not cool. Next, check out your local zoning laws and HOA rules. Some places have restrictions on fence height style and even color.

If you’re going the DIY route make sure you have all the correct tools to do the job right and safely. First you should have post hole diggers, a level, and a good measuring tape. While doing this job don’t forget that the posts need to be sturdy! If DIY isn’t your thing you should consider hiring a pro which can save you time and the long headaches. Just be sure to get a few quotes and read some reviews before you choose one.

And finally don’t forget to call before you dig. You don’t want to hit any utility line while attempting this project...trust me. Once your fence is up give it a love with regular maintenance here and there to keep it nice. A well-cared-for and clean fence can last for years keeping your yard stylish and secure. Happy fencing!
