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

We match the height, spacing, bottom edge and gate setup to your dog's size and habits.

FAQs

Common Fence Questions

A few of the questions we get most often. There are more on the FAQ page.

How much does a fence cost in Maine?
Cost depends on linear footage, material, height, gates, terrain and whether an old fence has to come out. We give a written estimate after seeing the property rather than quoting a per-foot number that changes once we get there.
What fencing material works well in Maine?
Vinyl, wood, chain link and aluminum can all work well here. The choice comes down to the property's style, desired privacy, care preferences, pets, gates and budget. Professional post setting, drainage and snow planning support every material.
How long does installation take?
Many residential fences go in over one to three days once materials arrive. Length, gates, terrain and access change that.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes. Estimates are free and written, so you can see what's included.
Do you remove old fencing?
Yes. Removal, post extraction and disposal are quoted as part of a replacement project.
Do you install gates?
Yes: walk gates, double drive gates, wide equipment access and pool gates with self-closing hardware.
