    We install a wide variety of fences, including wood, metal, vinyl, and plastic. Each type offers unique benefits—wood provides natural beauty, metal offers strength and security, vinyl delivers low maintenance, and plastic fences are eco-friendly and durable.

  • Q2: How long does it take to install a new fence?

    Most standard fence installations take one to three days, depending on the size of your yard, the type of materials used, and weather conditions. Larger or custom projects may require additional time, but we always keep you updated on the schedule.

  • Q3: Do I need a permit to install a fence in Ewing, NJ?

    Yes, most towns in Mercer County require a building or zoning permit before fence installation. Don’t worry—our team assists you with understanding local regulations and can help with the paperwork to make the process easy.

  • Q4: How deep do you set the fence posts?

    Fence posts are typically set 24 to 36 inches deep, depending on soil type and fence height. This ensures long-term stability and protection against wind and shifting ground.

Fence Maintenance and Durability

    The lifespan of your fence depends on the material:
