Clients need posts set at the correct depth for frost heave prevention and properly aligned from end to end before rails and boards are attached, since crooked posts cannot be corrected after concrete sets.

What clients expect and what professionals need to know
Fence installation sets posts in concrete (80 lb bag per post hole, minimum 1/3 of post length below grade) in holes augered to below the frost line, attaches horizontal rails to the posts, and installs fence boards, pickets, or panels. Post spacing is determined by material: 6-foot-on-center for standard 2x4 rail wood fences; 8-foot for chain link. Corner and end posts require larger diameter or double posts for structural stability. Call 811 and verify property lines with a survey before digging — encroachment on neighboring property is a common dispute trigger.

Common questions from clients looking for Fence Installation services
Posts should be buried at least 1/3 of their total length — a 6-foot above-grade post requires a 2-foot burial minimum; in frost areas, the post hole must extend below the frost depth (2–4 feet depending on region) to prevent frost heave.
Most municipalities require permits for fences over 4 feet in the front yard or 6 feet in the rear yard; setback requirements from property lines and easements also apply — check with your local planning or zoning department before installation.
Zoning ordinances typically require fences to be set back 1–2 feet from the property line; some jurisdictions allow installation directly on the property line with neighbor consent; always have property lines surveyed before installation to avoid disputes.
Western red cedar is the premium choice — naturally rot-resistant heartwood, dimensionally stable, and accepts stain beautifully. Pressure-treated pine is the budget standard; redwood is excellent but regional and expensive; avoid untreated pine which rots within 3–5 years.
A 200-linear-foot wood privacy fence takes 2–3 days: day 1 for digging and setting posts in concrete, day 2 (after concrete sets) for rails and boards; large projects with complex terrain or custom gates take additional time.
