Fence Contractor Serving Lost Creek, WI | Dependable

For Lost Creek homes adjacent to natural areas, we typically recommend less obtrusive fencing options that blend with the environment. Black aluminum fences are nearly invisible against wooded backgrounds while still containing pets or children. If privacy is needed, natural wood fences with gaps for wildlife passage often work well. For properties concerned about deer, we can design fences with appropriate heights and visibility features that help prevent deer jumping attempts. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your specific location and recommend options that balance your needs with consideration for the natural surroundings.

Lost Creek’s varied terrain requires specialized installation approaches. For moderate slopes, we typically use either “racked” fencing that follows the contour of the land or “stepped” fencing where each section remains level but steps down the hillside. For steeper areas, retaining walls might be needed before fence installation, which we can coordinate. Our experience with Lost Creek’s specific topography helps us recommend the best approach for each property. We use longer posts and deeper concrete footings on slopes to ensure stability, even in Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw conditions.

Yes, this is a common request in Lost Creek. Several effective options include: aluminum fencing that’s visible to deer but contains most dogs; partial property fencing that leaves wildlife corridors open; fences with specific gaps or openings sized to allow small animal passage while containing larger pets; and strategic fence placement that maintains natural movement patterns. During our site visit, we’ll discuss your specific pets’ needs and the local wildlife patterns to design a solution that works for everyone. We can also add features like coyote rollers for properties with significant wildlife pressure.

Fence installation in Lost Creek requires a standard City of Madison permit. As part of our service, we handle the entire permit process, including application, documentation, and inspections if required. Common regulations include height restrictions (typically 4 feet for front yards, 6 feet for side/rear yards) and setback requirements from property lines. Lost Creek may also have specific neighborhood covenants regarding fence styles and materials. We’ll review these requirements during your consultation and ensure your fence will be fully compliant, avoiding potential issues after installation.

In Lost Creek’s setting with more shade and moisture from trees, fence longevity varies by material. Cedar fences typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance (staining/sealing every 2-3 years). Pressure-treated pine fences last 12-15 years. Chain link and aluminum fences offer the longest lifespan at 20-30+ years with minimal maintenance. Wooden fences in heavily wooded areas may require more frequent maintenance due to increased moisture and organic debris. During your consultation, we’ll discuss how your property’s specific conditions might affect different fence materials and help you choose the best option for long-term value.

Absolutely! For new homes or landscaping projects, we’re happy to coordinate with your landscape designer or contractor. We can install the fence at the optimal point in the overall project timeline – either before plantings to provide clear access or after hardscaping but before final plantings. We can review landscape plans to ensure that fence post locations won’t conflict with planned irrigation, lighting, or planting areas. For clients developing comprehensive outdoor plans, we often recommend a phased approach where we rough-in gate locations to align with future paths or features that may not be installed immediately.
