How We Worked Around Stumps to Create a More Open Fence Line in Boulder, CO

A fence installation doesn’t always mean following the existing property line. On this Boulder, Colorado project, Eagle Eye Fencing had to work around several existing stumps, so the team removed the obstacles, moved the fence line back, and finished the area with weed barrier and rock. The result was a cleaner, more open yard that helped preserve the homeowner’s beautiful view of the Boulder Flatirons.

How to Choose the Right Type of Fence for Your Home

Choosing a fence starts with knowing what you need it to do. This guide walks through the key considerations, the benefits of vinyl, metal, and chain link fencing, and how to set a realistic budget so you can choose the right type of fence for your home.

Premium Chain Link Mesh

Our chain link mesh offers a high level of security for residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

Manufactured with you in mind to provide you with security and beauty at the same time.

Top Quality Rails

We pride ourselves on going the extra mile to ensure your investment is built to last. Adding a top rail to your chain link fence project creates an extra level of durability and security.

Stronger Posts & Hardware

A benefit of choosing our team to install your chain link fence is that we use only the most durable posts and hardware.

Chain-link fences are known for being the last fences standing during hurricanes, tornados, and other severe weather events.

Nice Finishing Caps

Our team prides themselves on putting in the little details that make your fence unique to you. Ask your representative about adding premium finishing caps to your Chain Link fence project.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Our metal fences come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty that protects against cracking, peeling, chipping, blistering and corrosion resulting in structural failure, without cause and workmanship and material defects through the manufacturer.

Coated For Protection

All of our metal fences are coated inside and out. Our metal framework is subjected to a powder-coated finish, which significantly increases corrosion protection and provides the protection necessary to withstand adverse weathering effects.

Seamless Design

Our metal fence panels are fabricated through an innovative technique that has been created to create a virtually invisible structural connection at every picket to rail intersection on the metal fence. 

Our team’s expertly crafted construction is unmatched in strength and durability.

High Security Fencing

Maintaining a secure perimeter is your first line of defense against potential threats. A securely installed metal fence serves as a visual deterrent backed with heavy metal components that give a higher level of protection compared to traditional alternatives.

Beautiful Vinyl Fences

Vinyl fences are a bright, bold fence choice. Available in a variety of colors, vinyl fencing can be installed in many configurations to help you enhance the beauty of your property. And, because vinyl isn’t porous like wood, vinyl fences retain their color and finish much longer than wood fencing, so you can enjoy your fence for years to come.

Easy to Clean

Vinyl fencing can be cleaned easily with a regular garden hose. If you get a little mildew from moisture or shady conditions, you can use a mild dish soap and then spray off the fence with a garden hose. Vinyl fences are very easy to clean, making them a great option for low-maintenance fencing.

More Options Available

Vinyl fencing is available in a wide variety of configurations to match any property, home, or purpose. Iconic, white vinyl picket fences give a feel of classic Americana with that white-picket-fence-style. Darker vinyl fences can be installed to make a space look more elegant or modern. From short picket to tall privacy, vinyl fencing can be designed to enhance your backyard or business.

Stronger Fencing

Compared to other fence materials, vinyl fencing often outperforms them due to its engineered resistance to insects and low-maintenance qualities. Vinyl fencing is also flexible, which helps it stand longer than options like wood fencing when facing windy conditions and with environmental exposure to UV rays and weather.

Premium Rails

Much like our fence pickets, our company takes care to only build with rails with minor defects. Taking the time to use premium fence materials helps ensure your family can enjoy the security and privacy of your new fence for years to come.

Decorative Details

Our team is committed to going the extra mile in every detail of your fence project.

Customize your fence project by asking about our add-ons we offer: decorative post caps, trim, and custom railings.

Better Fence Pickets

We build with only the best fence pickets. These are not the typical fence pickets anyone can buy from the local big-box stores. We have partnered with quality, reliable suppliers to provide the highest quality wood fencing materials.

Stronger Posts

We understand that your fence is only as strong as your posts. This is why we take great care to use the strongest posts, free of defect. We not only offer heavy-duty wood posts but also offer PostMaster+ post options for an even stronger post.

All high-quality posts are built to ensure that your fence stands strong for years to come.

"Stepped" Method

Stepped fences are designed to follow the contour of your land in a series of level sections, creating a “stepped” appearance. This approach is ideal for properties with significant elevation changes, as it maintains a consistent height for each fence panel while accommodating the slope of the terrain.

"Line-of-Sight" Method

The Line-of-Sight method is used to ensure unobstructed views, maintaining a straight and level top line regardless of the land’s curves. This method is perfect for those who prioritize a seamless visual flow and a clean, uniform fence line.

"Follow Grade" Method

The method of “Following the Grade” allows your fence to contour closely to the natural slope of your land, maintaining a smooth, continuous line that hugs the ground. This technique is ideal for gently rolling landscapes, as it provides an aesthetically pleasing and secure boundary that adjusts seamlessly to the terrain.

"Straight Line" Method

Fences built using the Straight Line method are installed in a perfectly level line, regardless of changes in elevation. This method works best on flat terrain and provides a clean, traditional look, ensuring that all fence panels are perfectly aligned and level.
