Fencing

Fencing built by Greg

A fence has a simple job: keep the dog in, keep the neighbor's view out, or keep the horses where they belong. Around here, what usually ends that job early is the post. Wet winters and heavy clay rot wood posts at the ground line and let them lean, and a fence is only as straight as its weakest post. Whether you are fencing a backyard in Lacey or several acres of pasture outside Rochester, the real work happens below grade, where nobody looks until a section blows over in a winter storm.

Greg has 33 years of experience in construction, and he builds a fence with the same care he puts into the barns and homes behind it. He handles the whole job: clearing brush and blackberries along the line, laying it out from your survey pins, digging and setting posts, building the rails and boards or stretching the wire, hanging gates, and hauling off the old fence. He is licensed, bonded and insured, and you work with Greg directly from the first walk of the line to the last gate latch.

What's included

Fencing: what's included

  • 01

    Wood privacy fences

    Cedar or treated board fences for backyards, with a top cap and trim option for a finished look along the street.

  • 02

    Horse and livestock fencing

    Board fence, woven wire and field fence for horses, cattle, goats and sheep, built tight and safe for the animals inside it.

  • 03

    Walk, drive and farm gates

    Gates hung on heavy posts so they swing true and latch for years instead of sagging into the dirt.

  • 04

    Fence line clearing

    Brush, blackberries and old wire cleared out so the new line runs straight and you can reach it for upkeep.

  • 05

    Old fence removal

    We pull the old boards, wire and posts, including the concrete chunks around them, and haul everything away before the new fence goes in.

  • 06

    Fencing with a new build

    When Greg builds your home, barn or shop, the fencing and gates can be scheduled as part of the same project.

How it works

How a fence job works

  1. 1

    Free on-site estimate

    Greg walks the line with you, looks at slope, soil and wet spots, and talks through height, style and where the gates should go.

  2. 2

    Layout

    We mark the line from your survey pins or agreed corners and confirm post spacing and gate openings before anything is dug.

  3. 3

    Posts first

    Holes are dug and posts are set plumb with drain gravel at the bottom and concrete or tamped backfill to suit the soil.

  4. 4

    Rails, boards and gates

    Rails, boards or wire go up, gates are hung and adjusted, and the work area is cleaned up before the final walk-through.

Questions

Fencing FAQs

How do you keep fence posts from rotting in Western Washington?

By keeping water away from the wood. Greg uses ground-contact rated posts, puts gravel under each one so water drains instead of pooling, and crowns the top of the concrete so rain runs off rather than sitting against the post. In heavy clay or a soggy low spot, posts may go deeper or get a different backfill so they don't heave or lean.

How much does a new fence cost?

The price comes down to the total length, the height, the material, how many gates you need, and how much clearing or old fence removal comes first. Slopes and rocky ground also add digging time. Greg's estimates are free and done on site, so the number reflects your actual fence line.

Do I need a permit for a fence?

Many backyard fences don't need one, but taller fences, fences along a road and fences in HOA neighborhoods can have height and setback limits. Greg checks the rules for your city, county or HOA before building, so the fence never has to come back down.

Do you build fences for horses and livestock?

Yes. Horse fencing needs to be easy to see and free of anything that can catch a hoof or a halter, so board fence or no-climb woven wire on solid posts is common. For goats, sheep or cattle, the wire, height and post spacing change with the animal, and Greg builds to what you keep.

How do you know where my property line is?

Greg lays out the fence from your survey pins or a recorded survey and keeps it on your side of the line unless you and your neighbor agree otherwise. If the pins are missing, he will tell you before any posts go in, so nothing is built on a guess.
