| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $25/ft | Wood privacy fencing built for Fayetteville's sloped lots, racked to follow the grade instead of stair-stepped, with posts set past the shallow limestone shelf so they hold. Common on the narrow yards around the square and Mount Sequoyah, and in wooded subdivisions from Johnson to Bentonville. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $36/ft | Vinyl fencing sized and colored to match the height and material rules most subdivisions from Springdale to Bentonville enforce, with posts core-filled and set past the limestone shelf for a stable line, racked to follow the slope rather than stair-stepped. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $15/ft | Galvanized chain link for yards, rentals and pasture edges across Washington County, set on posts driven past the rock shelf so the line holds on sloped ground. A straightforward, budget option for boundary and containment work. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $40/ft | Aluminum and iron fencing for front yards and pool surrounds from the square to the Bentonville corridor, powder-coated against Ozark humidity and racked panel by panel to follow sloped lots instead of jumping in steps. |
| Fence Repair | From $440 | Board replacement, leaning panels and pulled posts, the usual result of wind, humidity rot and shallow limestone that never let a post set as deep as it should. We fix the section that failed, not the whole fence, when the rest is sound. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | Ozark wind and falling oak limbs take down fence lines across Fayetteville every storm season. We check each post for shear, twist or a pulled footing in the shallow limestone before quoting anything, then rebuild the run to follow your slope instead of a flat line that was never there. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $440 | Wobbling and rotted posts are almost always a rock story here: a hole that hit limestone at eighteen inches instead of thirty, backfilled short, now working loose. We dig it right, set it past the shelf where we can, and anchor where we can't. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $465 | Gates here have to be hung for the fall of the land, since almost no yard in Fayetteville is actually level. We build in the drop, set posts past the rock shelf, and fix the sag that comes from a gate hung square on ground that isn't. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,800 | Automatic driveway gates for long rural drives out past the corridor and for subdivision entries where the grade drops from the road. Openers, wiring and posts are set to the slope and past the rock shelf so the gate swings true year-round. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $32/ft | Pool fencing built to meet the pool barrier code that applies at your address, with self-closing, self-latching gate hardware. Aluminum and mesh options that handle Ozark humidity without warping or rusting at the pool deck. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,300 | Full teardown and haul-off of the old fence, then a new line set to grade with posts placed past the limestone shelf where the ground allows. Common on the older lots around the square and Mount Sequoyah where fences are decades overdue. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $920 | Ozark humidity and full sun fade and gray wood fast, especially on south-facing runs. We clean, brighten and stain or seal the wood so it sheds water instead of soaking it up through another humid summer. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Temporary panel fencing for construction sites and event lots from Fayetteville to the growing subdivisions up the corridor, plus permanent commercial fencing that meets site and property line needs. Free site quote before anything goes in the ground. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $11/ft | Field fence, woven wire and T-post lines for cattle and poultry operations through Washington, Benton and Madison counties. Built for long field runs across rolling pasture, with corner posts set solid even where the rock comes up shallow. |
What Affects the Price
- Fence Material and Style : Premium materials like vinyl and ornamental iron cost more than chain link or basic wood, but offer greater durability and aesthetic appeal. Your choice directly impacts the per-foot installation price.
- Fence Length and Height : Longer fences require more materials and labor. Taller fences (especially privacy fences) involve additional structural considerations and may affect the total project cost.
- Site Conditions and Terrain : Sloped yards, rocky soil, tree roots, or difficult access can increase labor time and complexity. We assess your property to provide an accurate quote based on real conditions.
- Existing Fence Removal and Cleanup : If you're replacing an old fence or need debris removal, this adds to the project scope. Proper cleanup and disposal are included in our comprehensive estimates.

Pricing FAQ
Why does vinyl fencing cost more than wood or chain link?
Vinyl offers superior durability, requires no staining or painting, and lasts 20+ years with minimal maintenance. While the upfront cost is higher (starting at $36/ft vs. $25/ft for wood), many homeowners find the long-term savings on maintenance make it a smart investment.

What factors affect the cost of fence repair versus full replacement?
Repair costs (starting at $440) depend on damage severity and material type. Full replacement involves removing old fencing and installing new material. We'll assess whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your situation.
