Need to fence my backyard

have you considered one of those wired jobbies?  they have some negatives of course...don't stop anything from coming into your yard...but big positive that they don't obstruct your view and you can put it pretty much where ever you want.

Really? Do they come out and do estimate for free or do they need land survey?

They will come out and do a free estimate but before they can do the install you'll probably need to pull a platt map from the county. If you are going to stay well away from the property line you may not need it but since we went right to the lines we needed one. Didn't need a surveyor though, the map was enough for them to find the buried markers.

When I worked for Lowe's I did the exterior remodel/renovate/project estimates and I can tell you it's well worth the time. I retired from Lowe's and it was the last job I had with the company and it was probably the best. Here's what you get:

  • Estimate in writing of whichever fence design/material you want (chain link, wood, composite, iron, aluminum or vinyl)
  • The installers are licensed contractors, insured and have background checks
  • The price you get is turn-key and includes labor, delivery, materials- the whole deal
  • The fence will be placed usually within 24" of the property line on your side.
  • Any permits required are paid for by you, but included in the price and pulled by the installer.
  • 2-year labor warranty and the material warranty on the product. So if the fence falls over in 6 months because they forgot to concrete a post... call 'em, they'll be back.

Its a new house so I got the survey included in my closing package.  This shouldn't be an issue.
