You should be thinking of a few things before we discuss a fence, they will allow us to more accurately give you an idea of price and what’s involved.
1. What is the fence being used for? Dog, privacy, kids, property delineation?
2. How long is your proposed fence? A guess is often plenty good enough. I often hear “I’m no good at distances”. Ten feet? Half a mile? If you really want to get technical go out and pace it off. Giant steps for a mid sized person are about three feet.
3. Is there a particular style of fence you have in mind? What’s the address of the fence. We might well know the one you are talking about. Can you take a photo and send it with an email?
4. What’s your address. All things being equal, a fence off Table Mesa west of Broadway, is going to cost more than the same fence at Arapahoe and Foothills. Soil conditions vary street by street in Boulder, digging is as much as half the labour costs.
5. What is your budget. If you have a very limited price range let us know before you choose the gold plated with rosewood inlay option. We can steer you towards something almost as pretty and well within your target price.
6. Lastly what about landscaping. Is the fence going in a place with established lawn? Might need to think about getting sprinkler lines moved or repaired. Is the intended fence line within a sprinkler’s spray pattern? Constant watering can shorten the life of a fence and cause wood to quickly fade to grey.
The enemy of all wood fences.
