Atlanta Wood Fences

The Atlanta metropolitan area is the ninth largest metropolitan area in the country and has topped all other metropolitan areas in the nation when it comes to rate of growth since 2000. While Atlanta has been heralded as a model city for the way it has managed its rapid growth, there are still times when Atlantans need their own space. When that time comes it may be time to install a wood fence in Atlanta. After all, wood fencing in Atlanta can serve many functions, including providing barriers, security, and privacy, in addition to adding to your home's landscaping and overall appearance.

The Cost
I could go on all day about the design possibilities, materials, and the best methods for installing wood fencing in Atlanta, but most homeowners prefer to start with the price. HomeAdvisor collects data from as many projects that originate as referral requests on its website as it possibly can, and based on that information an average wood fence installation in Atlanta runs about $2,600. Keep in mind, however, that final costs can vary significantly depending on the size of your Atlanta wood fencing project, the type of material you choose, and the design.

How Long it Takes to Install
The other thing that most homeowners building a wood fence in Atlanta find helpful to know is how long they should expect a wood fence installation to take. Again drawing from our own data collected from the thousands of Atlantans who request contractor referrals from us each year, the average time it takes to have Atlanta wood fencing installed on your property looks to be about 3 days, which is a pretty standard number across the board when it comes to installing wood fence. The first step of any wood fence project is digging postholes and setting the posts. Assuming you use concrete for this task (as you should), you're going to have to wait a day or two until the concrete is set and you, or your contractor, can move on to installing the rest of your fence.

A Few Suggestions
If those numbers sound like something you can manage, then it's time to start thinking about choosing the right kind of wood fence for you. There are a number of wood fence designs to choose from, depending on your needs. They include picket fencing, privacy fencing, barrier fence, and literally hundreds of variations on these basic styles. To determine the right fence for you, make a list of the reasons you want to build a wood fence in Atlanta in the first place, and then start looking in to different designs in order to figure out which is the best fit. If you're looking for privacy, for example, a straightforward cedar board fence is an excellent choice. If you're looking for something that allows you to admire your garden while keeping your dog out at the same time, then a split rail or picket fence is more up your alley. Finally, choose your materials carefully. You can build a fence out of regular or pressure treated lumber, but by far the best wood fencing in Atlanta is made from cedar. The naturally occurring oils and tannins in cedar help the wood to repel moisture and insects, making it ideal fencing material in a climate like the ATL's.

Some Quick Homeowner Advice
Besides collecting information on project costs and durations, we also ask homeowners in the Atlanta metropolitan area if they've got any advice for neighbors who are still on the outside looking in when it comes to Atlanta wood fencing. Responses range from those so satisfied with their new fence that they encourage others to jump right in ("DO IT!") to those with valuable insights as to how they could get better results if they had it to do all over again. Take this advice, for example, written by a fellow Atlantan: "Get a good range of quotes, and use someone who has a good reputation or who is recommended." Those are words to live by, and echo the advice we give to homeowners facing any major home improvement: get bids from at least three contractors and check their references before hiring. Another homeowner had some insights on whether it's best to go with a specialist in fencing installation or a jack of all trades, such as a GC or handyman: "Hire a company that specializes in fencing rather than doing a variety of different types of jobs." He wrote, "If possible, closely review . . . the process to be sure they are completing the job as agreed and to check the quality of the work." Our favorite response, however, is found in these comments on the advantages of hiring a contractor vs. doing it yourself: It "was well worth the money," wrote an Atlanta woman who was thankful that her fence was finally a reality. "This project was finished in 3 days instead of 3 months, which is probably the length of time it would have taken my husband!"
