Local Builders

A picket fence defines the front of a property while keeping the home connected to the street. Its open spacing suits villas, cottages, new homes and garden paths. We adjust post depth, treatment and coatings for sandy coastal ground, heavy clay or colder inland conditions, so the finished fence remains straight and easy to care for.

How the Fence Looks From Each Side

From the property, slim rails support the pickets while preserving the same light, open character.
