What fence installation includes
- Posts set below frost line
- Wood, vinyl or aluminum
- Gates and hardware
- Repairs and replacement sections
Spring to fall work, part of our Build & Hardscape programme, and fence installation runs on the same schedule and the same invoice as everything else on the property.
Fence installation lives or dies at the post
Frost pushes anything set too shallow. Once a post lifts, the run goes out of line, the gate stops closing and the whole fence starts to rack. It is the single most common fence failure in Western New York and it is entirely preventable.
Every fence installation here sets posts below the frost line, with drainage at the base and concrete placed correctly rather than dumped dry. Frost depth figures for this area come from the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute. The part nobody sees is the part that decides whether the fence is still straight in year ten.
Every fence type we build
Material changes the price, the maintenance and how long it stays straight. Here is the honest version of each.
Vinyl privacy fence
The most popular choice locally and for good reason. It does not rot, does not need staining and holds colour for decades. Costs more up front than wood and saves it back on maintenance.
Wood privacy and board on board
Warmer looking than vinyl and cheaper to install. It needs staining every few years to survive the freeze and thaw. Board on board removes the gaps that open as timber dries.
Picket fence
Front yard fencing where the point is definition rather than screening. Wood or vinyl, with the gate hardware usually deciding how long it stays working.
Aluminum and ornamental
Clean sight lines, effectively zero maintenance and the usual choice around pools because it meets code without blocking the view.
Chain link
The practical option for large boundaries, dog runs and commercial ground. Galvanised or coated, and far more durable than its reputation suggests.
Gates and hardware
The part that fails first on nearly every fence. Properly braced posts and decent hinges are the difference between a gate that swings in year ten and one that drags by year two.
Why fences move here and how we stop it
Almost every failed fence in Western New York failed at the post. Frost pushes anything set too shallow, and once a post lifts the whole run goes out of line and starts to rack.
Posts go below the frost line, get proper drainage at the base and are concreted correctly. It is the least visible part of the job and the only part that decides whether it is still straight in a decade.

Pairs well with
Most people book fence installation alongside one or two of these. Putting them on a single agreement schedules better and prices better than booking each job separately, and you deal with one crew and one invoice for the whole property rather than chasing three contractors.
