"What is the best fence material for the Orange County climate?"
For longevity with minimal upkeep, especially near the coast, vinyl and aluminum are excellent choices as they resist moisture and salt air. For a natural aesthetic, woods like cedar and redwood are beautiful and naturally rot-resistant, but will require periodic maintenance (staining or sealing) to maximize their lifespan.
"Do I need a permit to build a fence in Irvine or Newport Beach?"
It depends on the height. Typically, fences under 6 feet in the back and side yards, and under 3.5-4 feet in the front yard, do not require a permit. However, these rules vary by city, and we handle the verification process to ensure full compliance.
"How deep do you set your fence posts?"
Proper post depth is critical for stability. As a standard, we set posts at least 2 feet deep in a concrete footing, ensuring your fence can withstand high winds and remain straight and secure for years to come.
"What should I consider when choosing an automatic driveway gate?"
The main considerations are the type (swing vs. slide, which depends on your driveway's layout), the power source, and the access control method (remote, keypad, etc.). We also ensure all required safety features, like photo-eye sensors, are installed to prevent accidents.
Your journey to a more secure, private, and beautiful property starts with a simple conversation. Let's begin the process of designing and building the perfect fence and gate system you've always imagined.
