4. Will you contact my utility company to verify the location of the buried lines?
1. We always call 8-1-1 before the start of any project to make sure no utility lines may be in the proposed fence line. 
5. Do you provide references from satisfied customers?

7. How deep will your company set the posts? Will you use concrete?
1. The depth of the piers will depend on the overall height of your fence. For an average 8’ high fence, we set our post in a 5.5-ft deep hole that is typically 12-18 in diameter. We set each post in concrete and add rebar cages where additional support is required.
