Posts set properly, so the fence is still straight in ten years

Fence Repair, Painting & Installation completed by Fresh Build in Los Angeles

A fence fails from the ground up. Posts set too shallow, set in dirt instead of concrete, or set with the end grain sitting in a puddle — those are the three reasons fences lean, and no amount of good lumber above ground fixes any of them.

We set posts at a minimum of two feet deep in concrete with a gravel base underneath for drainage, and we crown the concrete so water runs away from the post rather than pooling against it. It costs a bit more on install day and it is the difference between a fence that lasts eight years and one that lasts twenty.

We also do a lot of repair work, which is often the smarter spend. If the posts are sound and only pickets or rails have gone, replacing those and re-staining costs a fraction of a new fence and looks the same from the street. We will tell you which situation you are in.

How it runs

Our fencing process

  1. 1

    Walk the line

    We walk the fence line with you, confirm where the property line actually sits, check the city's height limits for your setback, and note anything — slope, tree roots, utilities — that changes how it has to be built.

  2. 2

    Demo and dig

    Old fence out and hauled away. Utilities located before any digging. Post holes dug to depth with a gravel base for drainage.

  3. 3

    Set and build

    Posts set plumb in concrete and left to cure, then rails and pickets go on with the correct fasteners. Gates get diagonal bracing so they do not sag in year two.

  4. 4

    Finish

    Stain or paint applied to both sides if that is part of the scope, hardware adjusted, site raked clean and all offcuts removed.

“Two hundred and twenty feet of cedar, posts set two and a half feet deep in concrete. Three winters later it is still dead straight. The fence it replaced had lasted six years.”

FAQ

Fencing questions

The things people ask before they book. If yours is not here, call and ask it.

Wood fencing runs $45–$75 per linear foot installed depending on height and material, so a typical 100-foot back yard lands between $4,500 and $7,500. Vinyl sits at the upper end of that range but needs no refinishing. Repairs to an existing fence usually come in between $650 and $1,800.

It comes down to the posts. If the posts are solid and only pickets or rails have failed, repair — you will spend a fraction of replacement and it will look the same from the street. If more than about a third of the posts are rotted at grade or leaning, replacement is the cheaper answer over any real time horizon.

Minimum two feet, deeper for six-foot and taller fences or loose soil, always in concrete with gravel underneath for drainage and the concrete crowned so water runs away from the post. Shallow posts set straight into dirt are the single most common reason fences lean, and it is entirely avoidable.

In most of LA County, fences up to 6 feet in the rear and side yards and 3.5 feet in the front need no permit. Taller than that, or anything on a corner lot with visibility rules, usually does. We check your specific address before quoting so nothing gets built and then flagged.

Every three to four years in LA. UV is what kills fences here far more than rain — it breaks down the surface fibres until water can get in. A stain costs a small fraction of a fence and roughly doubles how long the wood lasts.
