Custom privacy fences, built to last
A fence is the largest built object most people ever put on their property line — and it’s usually treated as a commodity. Ours are drawn: board spacing, post rhythm, gate hardware, the lot.
What we build — and what we don’t
We build
Horizontal good-neighbor fences in clear cedar, hardwood slat screens, gates with adjustable hardware that still swing true in a wet February, and fence-and-planter compositions that read as part of the landscape rather than a wall against it.
We don’t
Bargain panel replacement isn’t work we’re set up to do well — a $4,000 pre-fab panel job deserves a crew organized around exactly that, and we aren’t it. If that’s the project, we’ll say so on the phone and save us both a Saturday.
Why our fences are still straight in year ten
Fences in this climate fail from water and heave. The counters are all invisible on day one:
- 01 Posts set below frost depth — steel on wet lines, because steel doesn’t rot at the grade line.
- 02 Board gaps sized for airflow — a sealed board wall traps water and composts itself from the inside.
- 03 Stainless or coated fasteners — cedar’s tannins eat cheap screws and streak the boards black.
- 04 Gates built as furniture — diagonal-braced, adjustable hinges, latches that work with wet hands.
Draw the property line properly.
Fence consultations are usually shorter than deck ones — but the same rules apply: measured, drawn, priced in writing, and built to be ignored for a decade.
