Preparing for Your Fence Installation

Getting Your Property Ready

Preparing your property before installation helps ensure the project moves efficiently and avoids unnecessary delays.

A little preparation can make installation smoother for both homeowners and contractors.

 

Clear the Fence Line

Before installation day, remove any objects along the planned fence line.

This includes:

  • Outdoor furniture
  • Garden decorations
  • Landscaping items
  • Debris or branches

Clearing the area allows the installation crew to access the site easily and complete the work safely.

 

Trim Vegetation

Overgrown shrubs or trees along the fence line can interfere with installation.

Trimming back vegetation ensures there is enough space for equipment and allows posts to be installed accurately.

 

Secure Pets

Fence installation involves tools, digging equipment, and materials being moved around the property.

Our team loves your  pets – but keeping pets inside the home or in another secured area helps ensure their safety while work is being completed.

 

Identify Underground Utilities

Before digging begins, underground utilities may need to be located and marked.

This process helps prevent accidental damage to buried lines and ensures safe installation.

Your fencing contractor can help coordinate this step if required.

 

Confirm Property Boundaries

If possible, identify property pins or survey markers before installation begins.

Knowing the exact property line helps ensure the fence is installed in the correct location and avoids potential disputes with neighbours.

 

Understand the Installation Timeline

Most residential fence installations take one to three days depending on property size, terrain, and fence type.

Your contractor will provide a schedule and explain what to expect throughout the project.
