"Armando and his team are very dedicated and hardworking professionals. He's done 3 projects for me, involving the entire yard, front, back and sides. The largest project was making my yard drought resistant and included the placing of plants and rocks, sprinkler system changes and building a long stone seating area. He is prompt with the estimate and keeps to the schedule we agree upon. Armando kept me updated with the project and its timeline and any changes that might be required. He keeps the area clean and neat. The results are beautiful. He has also done the weekly maintenance on my yard for several years. I highly recommend him. I'm glad I did and you'll be glad, too!"

Frequently asked questions
- Budget: Your budget is central in influencing which fence you buy. Figure out your spending limit and determine your budget per linear foot, as fencing costs can quickly add up.
- Durability: Consider strength, lifespan, resistance to pests, rot and fungus, rust, and the material’s ability to withstand local weather conditions.
- Maintenance: Maintenance, cleaning and repairs should be simple and minimal.
- Purpose: The style of fence you choose should be suitable for its intended purpose.
- Installation: Find out what installation requirements, such as foundations or supports, are necessary. Research if DIY is possible or if professional installation is your only option.
- Wood fence styles range from traditional to contemporary and from purely functional to attractive and decorative.
- Lattice fences are affordable and decorative. You can use them as privacy fences by growing dense foliage over them.
- Vertical board fences are the most common type of residential fence. There are budget-friendly options available as well as higher-end panels. Vertical board fences are affordable choices for basic privacy and security fences.
- Picket fences conjure up cozy images of traditional properties with carefully tended lawns. They’re good for demarcating a property boundary but don’t provide much security.
- Post-and-rail fences are a solid choice for making a boundary over a large area, as material use is minimal. However, they don’t provide any security or privacy.
- Metal fences are generally stronger and more secure than other materials. You can choose from highly ornate and secure metalwork or simple but functional wire. For the higher-end options, which are often costly, homeowners often reduce costs per square foot by combining the metal with brick.
- Aluminum fencing is an attractive, more affordable alternative to wrought iron. Although it has a similar appearance, it’s not as strong as wrought iron.
- Steel fencing is a strong, long-lasting fencing option that’s good for creating a secure barrier around your home.
- Vinyl fencing made from PVC comes in a range of styles, including those that mimic real wood.
- Composite fencing is an amalgamation of wood fibers, pulp or sawdust and ground plastic particles that are bonded and held together by an acrylic resin. It looks and feels like real wood and is an environmentally friendly choice, as it usually contains a high percentage of recycled materials.
- Wire fences are not made to enhance the aesthetics of your property, although some homeowners opt for black fencing to help boost aesthetics. They are inexpensive, purely functional products suitable for DIY or professional installation.
- Barbed wire fencing isn’t common in residential settings. While it’s an inexpensive, fierce and intimidating security deterrent, it isn’t attractive and will not add value to your home.

The rest of the yard is currently fenced, but one side is currently open and we would like to build a fence and a small gate at the alley edge of the yard. The neighbor has a large dog and a not-so-attractive yard, and we have a small dog, so for safety of the animals (in the past, the dog next door jumped over the existing "fence" to charge a guest dog), we would like to enclose the space and provide more privacy to both neighbors. The neighbor began building a fence from cinder blocks but never finished it, so there are some posts (albeit crooked ones) in some places that may need to be removed and/or re-worked. Our house takes up most of the lot so it is a narrow side yard. We are thinking a 4-6 foot fence would be sufficient as the neighbor's lot is lower than ours to provide us both some privacy and security. We are hoping to install a horizontal wood fence along the side yard and a gate with a latch that we can conceal the garbage cans and secure our smaller dog while protecting against the larger dog.NewProject Location: San Diego, CA Date: 05/17/23Desired Completion Date: More than 2 weeksRequest Stage: Ready to HireFence Height: Less than 4 feetLocation: Home/ResidenceNewProject Location: San Diego, CA Date: 05/16/23Desired Completion Date: 1 - 2 weeksRequest Stage: Ready to HireFence Height: Greater than 8 feetLocation: Home/ResidenceComment: Also need 2 wood gates replaced along fense.NewProject Location: San Diego, CA Date: 05/16/23Nature of Project: Install a new fenceLocation: Home/ResidenceDesired Completion Date: 1 - 2 weeksRequest Stage: Ready to HireLength of Fence: Less than 25 feetFencing material: WoodComment: Customer did not provide additional comments.
