Materials and Longevity
Vinyl fencing is our most requested low-maintenance option — it doesn’t need painting or staining, holds up well to moisture, and typically carries a longer warranty. Cedar is our most popular natural wood option for privacy and decorative fencing. All wood fencing benefits from proper post installation in concrete footings and periodic sealing or staining to extend its life in Maryland’s climate.
Post Installation Depth
Fence post depth matters more than most homeowners realize. In Maryland, posts need to be set below the frost line to prevent movement during freeze-thaw cycles. We set posts in concrete at the appropriate depth for the fence height and local conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does fence installation take?
Most residential fence projects take one to three days depending on linear footage, terrain, and gate count. Larger commercial or rural projects take longer.
What fence material is best for a pool enclosure?
Aluminum or vinyl fencing works well around pools — they resist moisture and don’t require the maintenance that painted steel or untreated wood does. Code requirements for pool fencing include minimum height and self-latching gate requirements. We build to those specifications.
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Maryland?
Some counties and municipalities require permits for fences above a certain height. Requirements vary. Check with your local planning office or let us know your location and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
Can you install fencing on sloped terrain?
Yes. We use racked or stepped fence installations depending on the slope and fence style to ensure the fence follows the grade properly.
How long does a wood fence last?
With proper installation and periodic maintenance, a well-built wood fence typically lasts 15 to 20 years. Cedar holds up better than pine without treatment. Pressure-treated posts last longer than untreated posts regardless of the fence material above ground.
