Are the per-foot ranges a quote for my yard?

No. They are general planning ranges, not a project price. Cooper and Tyler can review your layout and confirm pricing in a written estimate after an on-site visit.

Does choosing a height change the displayed range?

No. The height options are informational only. Your selected height is considered when a project-specific estimate is prepared.

Why don't steel, pool, and cedar fencing show a range?

Those options are listed as custom quote because product and configuration choices can vary substantially. We'll discuss the specific project rather than present a potentially misleading range.

Are gates included in the per-foot figures?

Do not assume they are. Gate size, posts, and hardware are project-specific and should be included in your written estimate.

Will removing an old fence affect the price?

It can. The amount to remove, site access, and disposal needs are reviewed as part of defining the work.

Beyond the linear foot

What affects your fence cost

A fence follows the shape of your property, not a standard template. These details help define the work in your written estimate.

Height

Taller fences use different quantities of material and may require different components. The height choices shown here are informational and do not change the displayed per-foot ranges.

Material and style

Panel profiles, board arrangements, finishes, and selected products affect material and installation costs.

Gates

Gate width, quantity, supporting posts, and hardware add work beyond a straight fence run.

Terrain and obstacles

Slopes, roots, structures, and restricted access can change the installation approach.

Old fence removal

Taking down and disposing of an existing fence is a separate scope to discuss during the site visit.

Permits and HOA requirements

Applicable approvals or design constraints may affect the project. Confirm requirements with the relevant authority and your HOA, if any.
