While doing this research, it is also prudent to find local installers; visit their sites, read reviews, and confirm which groups are licensed, insured and accredited.

2. Survey Your Surroudings
Take a look around your area—are there common styles or materials that stand out? Fairfield’s neighborhoods often feature classic picket fences for front yards, wood privacy fences for backyards, or sleek vinyl options for a clean, modern look. If you’re near the beach, you may notice weather-resistant materials like aluminum or vinyl are popular choices.​
3. Tailor to Your Home's Needs
Then consider your home's architectural style, placement on your land, and the purpose of your fence. Do you have a modern or historical home. Do you border homes that may require you to consider greater privacy? Determining how much of your backdrop - or neighbors - you want to see is a primary consideration in fence design. Another item to contemplate is animals. Does your home back up to wooded areas? Our deer fencing will be a good fit. Do you have a dog? If so, your dog's size has an effect on the height of your fence and picket spacing.
