Backyard Project - Fence in!

We just had our IPE fence installed in our backyard. This is the 2nd phase of our project (after demolition.) Next is bluestone and possibly some planters. I highly recommend Warren for any fencing or deck work. He was extremely responsive, gave a good price, helped us with other parts of the project (e.g. helped us move a pallet of rubber mulch to our back area even though it had nothing to do with his work), and did a beautiful job! We are definitely going to bring him back for other work such as small deck we are considering and an extension to our fence in the front.

I second Warren. He did our simple fence. He was great to deal with, worked quickly, efficiently, and there were no surprises.

Valid question. The IPE cost about $1300 over the cost of cedar. Considering the price of the overall backyard project (including pavers, demolition, etc.), this is only about 10%. We are getting a wood that will last easily twice as long as Cedar, requires less maintenance, and looks a lot better, and the installation cost was about the same. No regrets on the extra cost at all. This was a 48 foot fence that surrounds our main hangout outside. When we replace our current cedar 60 foot side fence which is for our driveway and neighbors, it might be a totally different decision.

Not to be snarky, but wasn’t an ipe fence super expensive?
