Professional fence installation in Seattle creates functional boundaries that enhance your landscape design rather than just boxing it in. Our fence installation process starts with understanding your goals: full privacy screening along property lines, decorative picket fencing that defines front yards without blocking views, low fences that separate garden areas while maintaining sight lines, or tall cedar fences that create intimate outdoor rooms for patios and entertaining spaces. We work primarily with wood materials that suit the Pacific Northwest climate—Western Red Cedar that weathers beautifully in Seattle's wet conditions and naturally resists rot, pressure-treated lumber for posts that sit in ground contact, and quality fasteners that won't rust or stain the wood over time.
The installation follows critical steps for long-term durability: setting posts in concrete below frost line with proper depth for fence height, ensuring posts are plumb and aligned before concrete sets, installing horizontal rails that are level and securely attached, spacing pickets or boards consistently with appropriate gaps for wood expansion, and finishing with caps or trim that shed water away from end grain. The benefit of professional fence installation in King County is that we account for Seattle's challenging conditions—our clay soil requires deeper post holes with gravel drainage, our freeze-thaw cycles demand proper concrete setting, and our wet winters mean we use construction techniques that prevent water from pooling in joints where rot starts.
Thoughtfully designed fencing enhances your garden by creating defined planting beds along fence lines where you can layer shrubs and perennials at varying heights, establishing visual boundaries that make properties feel larger through careful placement, providing vertical structure for climbing plants like clematis and jasmine, and serving as a neutral backdrop that makes colorful plantings pop rather than competing with garden beds. Professional fence installation increases your property's functionality through added privacy and security, creates outdoor living spaces that feel like extensions of your home, complements your landscape design through material and style choices that match your property's aesthetic, and delivers lasting performance through proper construction techniques—because fence installation Seattle homeowners trust means structures that remain sturdy and attractive for decades rather than sagging, rotting, or requiring constant repair within a few years.
