Process We Follow for Privacy Fencing
Installing a customized privacy fence requires careful planning and execution by skilled fencing technicians. Our step-by-step process enables us to construct beautiful, long-lasting privacy fences our clients rave about.
Initial Consultation
The first step is meeting at your property for an initial design consultation. We’ll discuss your vision for how the fence will define your space, preferred materials like wood or vinyl, terrain considerations, intended use, size specifications, and special features if desired. We’ll also take precise measurements of the fence’s layout.
Custom Design
Next, we take your unique specifications back to our design studio to create a customized privacy fence solution. We’ll expertly configure the layout to match your property, with 3D design images for you to visualize and approve the fencing plan.
Permitting
Fence permitting requirements can vary by municipality, so we’ll complete all necessary paperwork and obtain city permits in Dearborn on your behalf, saving you time and hassle. Proper permitting ensures the fence complies with local regulations too.
Material & Hardware Delivery
Once permitting and fencing design is finalized, we’ll order premium weather-resistant wood, commercial-grade vinyl, or other privacy fencing materials specially configured per your specifications. All galvanized screws, posts, gates and other hardware are durable and designed to prevent rust.
Installation Preparation
To prep your yard for quick, efficient installation, our crew will first mark fence post positioning with spray paint and clear any debris, bushes or obstacles from the install areas. We take great care to protect existing landscaping too.
Fence Construction
Now the exciting part – our professional crew meticulously builds your stunning privacy fence section-by-section until fully complete. With sharp attention to detail at every stage from post-digging and mounting to panel alignment and gate adjustments, we construct the fence properly so it lasts for over a decade of backyard privacy.
Cleanup & Finishing Touches
As we put the final sections in place, we’ll thoroughly clean the work areas, haul away debris, and complete any final adjustments or touch-ups. Once finished, we’ll walk the site with you for a final quality inspection and to answer questions or discuss any additional needs. Your backyard now has a beautiful new privacy fence ready for you to enjoy!
Cost of Privacy Fencing in Dearborn
Custom privacy fencing is an investment into both the beauty and value of your property. While costs depend on factors like terrain complexity, selected materials, fence height and overall linear footage, here is an overview of typical privacy fencing costs:
- Wood Privacy Fences: $25 – $50 per linear foot installed
- Vinyl Privacy Fences: $30 – $70+ per linear foot installed
- Composite or PVC Privacy Fences $40 – $80 per linear foot installed
Wood is generally the most economical privacy fencing option, while vinyl resists weathering and lasts longer but comes at a higher upfront cost. Composite and PVC also have long lifespans with very low maintenance requirements. We offer all privacy fencing materials for any project budget.
Keep in mind local terrain challenges like slopes require more extensive installation work, impacting overall project pricing. Decorative accents, gates, or stained finishes also increase privacy fence costs. We provide transparent, competitively-priced quotes tailored to your specific project parameters, plus expert advice on the best options for your needs and budget.

FAQs About Privacy Fencing in Dearborn
What is the best wood for privacy fences?
Cedar is the premier privacy fencing wood for its strength, weather-resistance, attractive appearance and natural insect/decay resistance without chemical treatments. We also offer pine as a more affordable wood fencing option.
What height is typical for backyard privacy fences?
6, 7 or 8 foot tall privacy fences are common, with 6 feet as the standard height meeting most homeowners’ needs for privacy, security and enclosing yard space. Taller fencing over 8 feet generally requires a permit.
How long does it take to install a privacy fence?
On average we complete standard privacy fence installations in 3 to 5 days. More complex projects with extensive terrain challenges, special features or longer lengths may take 1-2 weeks. We handle the full process from permitting to cleanup.
Can you match my existing wood fence for an extension?
Absolutely – we can seamlessly match wood types, dimensions, designs and finishes to connect new privacy fencing with your current fence, even if we didn’t do the original install. Our 15+ years of expertise ensures uniformity.
How much space is needed between a privacy fence and property line?
Dearborn usually requires 1 to 3 inches between a privacy fence and the property line. We include the precise setback space required by permits to prevent legal issues with new fence installations.
Can you incorporate a gate into my privacy fence?
Yes, installing handsome gates for driveways, side yards or backyard entryways is one of our specialties. Gates can match fence designs or create an eye-catching focal point. We ensure proper custom-sized gates for easy access.
How do vinyl and wood privacy fences compare?
Vinyl resists moisture, doesn’t require staining, and is very low maintenance, while wood offers a classic appearance. Vinyl costs more initially but lasts 25+ years for long-term value, while wood lasts 15 years on average. Both make great privacy fences!
Should fence posts be placed inside or outside the fence?
Putting posts on the inner side of the fence optimizes backyard space and minimizes visible hardware for a more appealing look. Posts can go on the outer side as well but take up more usable yard room.
How much direct sunlight is ideal for a privacy fence?
While a fence creates privacy regardless, getting 4 to 6 hours of midday sun keeps the wood or vinyl from excessive moisture buildup prolonging its lifespan. Some periodic shade is fine too.
Will frost upheaval be an issue with my privacy fence?
Not with proper installation. We dig deep post holes and use heavy-duty hardware along with gravel backfill to anchor the fence below the frost line, preventing heaving issues during freeze-thaw cycles. Settling is not a concern.
