Custom Fencing

Getting your property ready for a new fence is pretty straightforward:

• Clear the area: Make sure the line where the fence will go is free from debris, plants, and other obstacles. This includes trimming back bushes and removing any old fencing.
• Check for utilities: Before any digging starts, it’s crucial to call 811 or your local utility companies to mark out any underground lines. You don’t want to hit anything important!
• Talk to your neighbors: If your new fence will affect your neighbors' property in any way, give them a heads up. It’s good manners and can prevent any disputes later on.
• Verify boundaries: Double-check your property lines to ensure your fence is built on your land. Consulting a surveyor might be a good idea if you’re unsure.

Estimating the time for custom fencing installation depends on a few factors:

• Length and layout: More fencing and complex layouts take longer. Measure the perimeter where the fence will be installed to get a rough idea.
• Type of fencing: Different materials and designs require varying amounts of time. For example, a basic chain-link fence goes up faster than a detailed wrought iron or wooden privacy fence.
• Ground conditions: Rocky, uneven, or hard soil can delay digging and setting posts.
• Weather and season: Bad weather can slow down work. Also, during busy seasons, the crew might be juggling multiple projects.

A straightforward project might only take a few days, while more complex or larger ones could take several weeks. For the best estimate, discuss your specific needs and conditions with your fencing contractor—they’ll provide a timeline based on their expertise and your project’s specifics.
