Every good fence starts with a string line.
We stake the line, flag every post, and call 811 to mark utilities before anyone digs. Scroll to watch a five-day install go in.
Thirty inches deep, in concrete.
Posts go in every 8 feet on center, set in two bags of concrete each and checked plumb on two faces before the mix cures.
Straight as the string.
Three rails per bay. They follow the string line instead of the bumps in the yard, so the top of your fence reads dead level.
No gaps. Even after it shrinks.
Board-on-board pickets overlap on both faces, then a 2×6 cap and trim board close the top. Cedar shrinks as it dries. Overlap keeps it private anyway.
Your yard, finished.
Stained, sealed, and cleaned up. We walk the line with you and haul off every scrap before we leave.
Same yard. Six fences.
Tap a style to see it on the property. Cedar comes in three stain colors, so try those too.

Prices are sample installed ranges per linear foot for this demo site.
Drag the line.
Before on the left, after on the right. Pull the string across to compare.

Storm calls answered within 24 hrs
Storm got it? We fix that too.
Tap the markers to see what failed. Most storm damage starts with one post that rotted at the soil line.
New post. New section. Same line.
We replace only what failed and match it to the run you already have. No need to tear out the whole fence.
Then the gate hanging by a hinge.
The top hinge tore out, the brace cracked, and the corner is digging a trench in the dirt. Tap the markers to see what went wrong.
Square, level, latched.
A new cedar gate on heavy strap hinges, with a tensioned anti-sag cable and a gravity latch that closes on its own. Most gate jobs take under two hours.
How we set every post.

Deep enough to hold a 6 ft privacy fence through Gulf Coast wind.

Never spaced wider, so rails do not sag and gates hang on a solid post.

Packed around the post and left to cure before any rails go on.

The top is sloped so water runs away from the wood. If a post leans, we come back and fix it.
