All of our fence systems feature a No Dig installation. This provides a cleaner project with many other benefits when compared to traditional set in concrete method.
No Dig Install Method
What is No Dig Install and why is it better?
No Dig is a process that has been used for years but is becoming industry standard for professionals. Using a specialized post driver, steel posts are driven deep into the virgin soil. We drive our posts to 52"* deep to ensure the maximum strength and longevity.

Depth Disclaimer/Guarantee
We strive to drive all posts to 52" deep. Frost line in our service area per International Building Code is 42". We will never install a post shallower than 42" with the exception of home footings preventing post depth. IF we are unable to drive a post to the minimum depth of 42" due to obstruction underground or utilities in conflict we will dig the hole to depth and set steel post in concrete. This does not void our warranty as post will still be set 52" deep.
