Process We Follow for Post and Rail Fencing
We take great pride in our process for crafting customized post and rail fences of impeccable quality for homes and businesses across the Midland area. Here is an overview of how we complete every project:
Initial Consultation and Planning
The first step is to meet you on-site for a thorough consultation. We inspect your property and discuss your vision to formulate a specialized plan addressing considerations like:
- Intended purpose – decorative, security, agriculture, etc.
- Dimensions – perimeter length, post height, rail width/thickness
- Post spacing based on fence height and wind load
- Number of rails
- Wood type for posts and rails – cedar, pine
- Special privacy or ornamental options – latticework, finials
- Gate locations and sizes
We develop a detailed proposal covering all specifications and pricing with optional add-ons so you know precisely what to expect. There is absolutely no obligation, and we will gladly answer any questions on the spot.
Permitting
For some residential projects, permitting through the city may be required before installing your new fence. Our team handles all permitting paperwork and processes on your behalf, saving you major time and hassle. We work with inspectors to ensure your new fence will comply with local regulations.
Material Delivery
Once plans are finalized, we order the premium lumber needed for your custom fence right away from our trusted suppliers. We have all materials delivered directly to your property a few days before installation to avoid any delays. Before building, we double check all wood with you to confirm correct quantities, sizes, and types.
Site Preparation
The day before installing posts, our crew marks all post hole locations with spray paint per agreed-upon spacing. We use an auger secured to our truck to dig holes 36-48 inches deep based on fence height and soil. Deeper holes anchored in firm, undisturbed earth provide exceptional stability.
For properties with underground lines, we carefully locate and mark them to avoid damage when digging. We also survey for sprinkler systems, low-voltage landscape lighting, or other buried obstacles in fence’s path. Any issues are discussed with you before proceeding further.
Fence Installation
Once post holes are dug and prepped, it is finally time for the exciting part – installing your new custom post and rail fence! Our skilled team takes great care in precisely spacing and sinking pressure-treated posts into holes, verifying they are straight and plumb.
We carefully measure, cut, and secure horizontal fence rails between posts with galvanized fasteners. For extra strength and rigidity, rails may be attached to posts with wood joinery in addition to metal braces. Additional decorative elements like latticework, arbors, or gates are seamlessly incorporated as well.
We fine-tune small details until you are 100% satisfied with the final look. Our crew then cleans the site, hauls away debris, and provides guidance on sealing and protecting your new investment.
