FENCE COST GUIDE
Every fence is priced on your yard. Material, height, length, gates and the ground itself all play a part. Here’s what drives the cost, and how to get a free estimate for your project.
QUICK ANSWER
There’s no one price for every yard. Your cost comes down to the material you pick, the fence height, how many linear feet you need, the number of gates, the slope of your yard, old fence removal and the style. Permits or HOA approval may also apply. The best way to know your number is a free on-site estimate.
