Built Here

Built for Maine Properties

Fencing here has to account for frost, rocky soil, slopes, tree roots, snow and freeze/thaw cycles — and every property is a little different. We plan the layout and installation around what your site actually looks like.

What we plan around
  • Frost depth and freeze-thaw movement
  • Snow load, plow piles and roof runoff
  • Rocky soil and ledge
  • Uneven terrain and slope
  • Tree roots along the fence line
  • Drainage and wet ground
  • Seasonal ground movement

Dogs & Family

A Better Backyard for You and Your Dog

Most of the fence decisions that matter for a dog come down to height, spacing, visibility and gates — and they're different for a beagle than for a husky.

  • Fence height matched to your dog's size and jumping habits
  • Picket and mesh spacing that smaller dogs can't slip through
  • Open sightlines or solid privacy, depending on how your dog reacts to passersby
  • Gate placement away from busy door traffic, with latches that stay aligned
  • A plan for the bottom of the fence if your dog digs
  • Safe, enclosed play space for kids using the same yard

No fence is completely escape-proof. We'll be honest about what a given setup will and won't do for your dog.
