Fencing.
Privacy, pets, property lines — surveyed and set in concrete.
Privacy, pets, and property lines — done right the first time.
Typical install — $25–$75/linear ft installed.
Overview
What you’re getting
A good fence is one of those upgrades you notice every single day — the right privacy where you want it, a safe yard for pets and kids, clear property lines that make good neighbors. On the Wasatch Front, vinyl privacy fencing has become the dominant choice: it survives Utah weather with essentially no maintenance, holds its color for 20+ years, and resale value is strong. Cedar wood fencing looks fantastic but needs staining every 3-4 years and lasts 15-20 years. Chain link is the budget pick; iron or ornamental aluminum is the premium option.
Installation matters more than most people realize. Post depth (30-36" below grade to hit frost line), concrete footings, and proper panel attachment determine whether your fence survives the first hard winter wind event. Skimp on post depth and you'll be resetting leaning posts within a couple of years. We handle property-line surveys, utility locates (always required), and HOA approvals.

Why this matters locally
Built for the Wasatch Front.
- Canyon winds (especially east-side homes near the mountains) test fence construction — deep posts are non-negotiable
- Frost line (30-36") determines minimum post depth; shallow posts heave seasonally
- Intense UV at elevation fades cheap vinyl in 5-10 years; quality products hold color 20+
- HOAs throughout Salt Lake and Utah counties often have strict fence rules — height, material, color

Before you decide
Key decisions.
- Material: vinyl ($35-$55/ft, 20+ year life, no maintenance), cedar ($30-$45/ft, 15-20 year life, stain every 3-4 yrs), chain link ($18-$30/ft), iron/aluminum ($50-$75+/ft)
- Height: 4-6 feet is most common; some cities cap front yards at 3-4 feet
- Post depth: 30-36" below grade for structural integrity in Utah
- Concrete footings: required for all post-set fences in our climate
- Permits: many Wasatch Front cities require permits; we handle the paperwork
- Property line: professional survey recommended before installation
Our process
How it works.
- 01
Design & survey
We walk the property, discuss styles and heights, and verify property lines (survey if unclear).
- 02
Utility locate
Blue Stakes of Utah called to mark underground utilities — required by law before digging.
- 03
Post holes & concrete
Holes dug to 30-36", posts set plumb in concrete footings, allowed to cure.
- 04
Rails & panels
Horizontal rails or stringers attached; panels or pickets installed.
- 05
Gates & hardware
Gates hung, latches installed, final adjustments made. Cleanup and walkthrough.
