Wood, vinyl, aluminum or chain link?
| Material | Best for | Upkeep |
|---|---|---|
| Wood (pine or cedar) | Best for: Privacy and a warm, classic look at a lower cost up front | Upkeep: Stain or seal it every few years, or humid summers gray and weather the boards |
| Vinyl | Best for: Privacy with a clean, solid face that never needs paint | Upkeep: Rinse off mildew now and then, mostly on the shady side |
| Aluminum | Best for: Decorative borders, front yards and sloped lots, where you want to see through the fence | Upkeep: Very low: it does not rust or rot |
| Chain link | Best for: Keeping pets in and marking a line, with the lowest material cost | Upkeep: Low: check the gate hinges and the ties |
What a fence job includes
One crew from the first walk of the line to the last gate latch.
- We walk the line with youHeight, style, gates and where each corner sits, settled on site before anything is priced.
- Brush cleared along the lineSo the posts go where the plan says, not where the brush allows.
- Utilities marked before we digUnderground lines located before a single post hole goes in.
- Posts set deep in concretePlumb and on line, because the posts are what hold everything else.
- Gates hung to swing and latchFramed so they do not sag, and set to close on their own latch.
- Grading along the lineLow spots and washouts under the fence evened out by the same crew.
- The old fence, if there is oneWhat happens to it is part of the visit, and the written estimate spells it out.
Why a landscaping company for your fence?
A fence sits in the yard, not beside it. The ground under the line, the beds along it and the lawn it borders all change when it goes in. Because one crew handles the line, the grading under it and the landscape installation along it, you do not coordinate two companies or live with a strip nobody finished.
In Kernersville clay the posts are the whole fence. Wet clay swells and dry clay shrinks, and a post set shallow or without concrete works loose and starts to lean. Every post goes in deep, set in concrete, before a single panel goes up.
Before we dig, have your plat or survey in hand, and ask your HOA and the town about height and style rules. If a corner is unclear, a surveyor can mark it. Underground utilities get located before the first hole, and we set the fence on the line you confirm.
A fence often goes in next to other hardscaping in Kernersville: a patio against one run, or a walk that leads to the gate. Text us a photo of the line to start.
Posts first, then panels and gates
Corners and gates staked
We stake each corner and gate on the line you confirm from your plat or survey.
Clear and mark the line
We clear brush along the line, mark the layout, and have underground utilities located before any hole is dug.
Set the posts
Posts go in deep and set in concrete, plumb and on line, and cure before anything hangs on them.
Panels, pickets and gates
Panels or pickets go up level and on line, gates are hung to latch and swing cleanly, and we clean up the site.
How much does a fence cost in Kernersville?
Most of a fence's cost follows the line: how long it runs and how many posts and gates it needs.
- Length of the line
- Most of the cost follows the number of posts and panels the fence needs.
- Material and height
- Wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain link differ in cost, and a six-foot privacy fence takes more than a four-foot border.
- Gates
- Each gate adds hardware and framing, and a wide drive gate adds more.
- Slope and ground
- A sloped yard needs stepped or racked panels, and rock or roots along the line slow the digging.
- An old fence on the line
- If an old fence stands where the new one goes, how it comes out changes the work before the first post.
Fence repair, replacement and property lines
How long does a fence take to install?
Posts set in concrete need time to cure before panels hang on them, so the job runs in two stages: posts first, then panels and gates. The length of the line, the material, the number of gates and the ground decide how long each stage takes.
Who checks property lines and permits?
You know your lot best, so check your plat or survey, and any HOA height and style rules, before work starts. If a corner is unclear, have a surveyor mark it. We then set the fence on the line you confirm.
Can you repair an existing fence?
Text us a photo of the damage and tell us how old the fence is. Loose posts and a few broken boards usually repair well; rot along most of the run usually means a new fence is the better spend.
Do you replace old fences?
A new fence often goes on the same line as an old one. What happens to the old fence is something we talk through on the visit, and the written estimate spells it out before any work starts.
Do you install commercial fencing?
Yes. Commercial fences tend to run taller and plainer, for security and access control, while home fences tend to be lower and more decorative. We install both.
Which fence material needs the least upkeep?
Vinyl and aluminum need the least: an occasional rinse. Wood looks warm and costs less up front, but it needs staining or sealing every few years to last in our humid summers.
