Getting a new fence is an exciting endeavor, but installation day can become overwhelming if you aren’t well-prepared. Unlike simple tasks like pruning or weeding, fence installation is a complex construction event that involves many moving parts. It’s a major change for your home, and your preparation is the secret sauce for a stress-free experience.
Here are a few quick, professional tips on how you can make the fence installation process easy for yourself and our crew:
- Clear Your Fence Line of All Obstructions. First, take a walk along where your new fence will stand and pick up anything that may be in the way — garden hoses, those forgotten gardening tools, or decorative stones. Even small items mean we have to stop and move them, and a clear path lets us get those posts in the right spot, right away.
- Have a Dirt Management Plan. All those post holes mean we’re going to have extra dirt. It’s just part of the process. Before we start, decide what you’d like us to do with it. If you have a spot for a new flower bed, we can pile it there. If not, you can arrange for professional removal afterwards.
- Inform Your Neighbors. Building a fence right on the property line will create temporary noise and activity near your neighbor’s space. A quick, friendly courtesy call or note mentioning the start and finish times will help everyone avoid any friction or surprise during the fence installation process.
- Secure the Working Area. And most importantly, please keep kids and pets away from the work area. We use heavy tools, handle sharp materials, and often handle open holes, which can be hazardous if the area isn’t strictly secured.
