#1 Dog and Pet Fencing Company in El Cajon, CA

Initial Consultation

The first step in our pet fencing process is to meet with you at your home for a free design consultation. We’ll inspect your property and discuss your needs and preferences like:

• Breed, size, temperament and containment abilities of your pets
• Areas of the yard you want fenced off and any landscaping to avoid
• Gate placement and access requirements
• Special safety concerns like pools or sharp drop-offs
• Type of fencing material desired – wood, chain link, vinyl, etc.
• Budget for the project

Our team will provide recommendations on the optimal pet fencing solution for your home based on the information gathered. We can supply you with a free estimate with optional add-ons like smart fence technology so you know exactly what to expect cost-wise.

Detailed Measurements

Once you are ready to move forward with installing dog fencing with us, our crew will return to take precise measurements of your property. We record the layout of your home, gardens, patios and any other features that must be accommodated within the new pet enclosure design.

Exact measurements ensure that your custom dog run is constructed to the proper scale and dimensions down to the inch. This meticulous planning helps avoid costly errors and rework down the road after installation has begun.

Fence Layout and Materials Selection

With the measurement data in hand, our design team will create a detailed site map showing the planned fencing layout. We determine optimal post positioning and spanning based on your pets’ containment needs and the geography of your land.

We will also review material options like pressure-treated pine, redwood, vinyl and galvanized steel with you to select the type of dog fencing that best fits your home’s decor, climate and your budget.

Factors like weather resistance, required maintenance, safety features and visual appeal are considered to provide you with the perfect pet fencing for your property.

Prepping and Digging Post Holes

Once the fence materials arrive and the project start date is set, our professional crew will start by prepping your yard. We remove any existing enclosures or debris from the installation site and mark post hole locations with spray paint.

We dig precisely measured post holes around the perimeter of your new dog run area, spacing them equidistantly per fence type to ensure optimal structural integrity. Proper hole sizing and depth are followed to keep your new pet barrier sturdy and long-lasting.

Installing Fence Posts and Attaching Materials

With the holes dug, we begin setting the fence posts in concrete and allowing them to cure adequately. We take care to verify each post is plumb and level to create a uniform finished look.

Once the framework is in place, we start attaching your choice of fencing material. For wood, we nail each board flush to the posts and to each other. For chain link, we weave the wire through the posts and pull it taut. Gates are hung and smart fence components added at this stage.

Finishing Touches

As the last step in our pet fencing installation process, we walk the perimeter making sure every inch is perfectly secured with no gaps or weaknesses. We fine tune any problem spots and clean up the area inside and out.

We can also provide you with tips on maintaining your new dog run fence including inspecting it periodically for damage and re-sealing wood annually. Our crew will return annually to check and tune up your pet barrier to keep it like new.

With our start-to-finish fence construction expertise, we can provide the ultimate playground for your 4-legged family members. Call us today to get your custom dog run project started!
