Frequently asked questions

Do I need a survey before building a fence?

Not always, but you need to know where your property line is. If markers aren't clear, a survey avoids disputes. Some HOAs and cities ask for a plot plan with the permit.

Why do I need 811 before a fence?

Post holes can hit buried gas, electric, or communication lines. A free locate request through 811 marks them before digging. Most installers place it.
