Our Process
Property Survey
We verify property lines, check for underground utilities, and assess the terrain to plan the fence layout accurately.
Material Selection
We help you choose the material, style, height, and color that fits your needs, budget, and HOA requirements.
Installation
Posts are set below frost line depth (at least 30 inches along the Wasatch Front) in concrete. Rails and panels are installed level and plumb.
Final Inspection
We check every post, panel, and gate for proper alignment, operation, and appearance before we call the job done.

Fence Installation FAQs
Wood privacy fencing typically costs $25 to $40 per linear foot installed in Salt Lake City. Vinyl runs $30 to $50, and composite ranges from $35 to $60 per linear foot. A typical 150-foot residential fence project costs $3,750 to $9,000 depending on material. We provide exact quotes after a property survey.
Fence posts along the Wasatch Front should be set at least 30 inches deep to get below the frost line. We typically dig to 36 inches and set posts in concrete for maximum stability, which also matters for bench and canyon-mouth properties that take fierce canyon winds. This prevents frost heave from pushing posts up and causing the fence to lean or shift.
Many Salt Lake Valley HOAs require approval before installing a fence, and master-planned communities like Daybreak have formal design review. Common restrictions include material type, color, height, and setback from property lines. We review your HOA guidelines before quoting and can prepare architectural review submissions for you.
A standard residential fence (100 to 200 linear feet) takes 2 to 4 days to install depending on terrain and material. Post-setting is done first and typically needs 24 to 48 hours to cure before panels are hung. We schedule accordingly to minimize disruption.
