A fence for the way you use your property
For a Winston property with a longer boundary, begin by deciding what each run needs to do. A rail fence defines space differently from a privacy fence or a wire enclosure. Discuss animals, vehicle access and the areas that need a physical barrier before selecting a style from a photograph.
Start with the purpose, not just the photograph. We can review the proposed line, gate locations, existing fence condition and your priorities, then discuss a defined installation or repair scope.

A decorative rail line, a pet enclosure and an animal-containment fence are different projects. On a longer property boundary, identify which sections need a physical barrier and where vehicles must cross. Wire infill, corners and gate supports belong in the initial scope, not as afterthoughts.
Wood gives you the broadest range of traditional board layouts, from full backyard screening to an open rail boundary. Compare the view from both sides, the maintenance you are comfortable with and how the fence will follow the property.
At the property visit, look at both sides, the ground below the proposed line and the approach to each opening. Discuss what stays, what comes out and what will happen at transitions. A written scope should distinguish new work from retained components and identify the workmanship coverage that applies.

Rustic rails define the boundary while wire adds a closer-spaced enclosure. Wire type, openings, height and bottom clearance must suit the intended animal or use.

Straight horizontal boards create an open landscape boundary. Discuss the number of rails, wire specification and gate width as a complete containment plan.

An open X-pattern defines a larger property or landscape edge. Add appropriately specified wire when containment, rather than appearance alone, is the goal.

Open spacing lets light and views through the fence. Match the gate's picket pattern and review the openings around pets, children and everyday access.

Start with the look you like, then compare privacy, access, care and the needs of your property.

Solid gray infill gives a consistent screened boundary. Confirm the selected color, post reinforcement and gate framing in the written proposal.

White panels and capped posts create a clean privacy fence. Review the panel system, height, care instructions and the amount of screening you need.

The corner and return are part of the finished design, not an afterthought. Discuss transitions, post locations and how the panels meet changes in level.

A walk gate should connect the routes you actually use. A wider opening may be needed for mowers, equipment or deliveries. Mark those paths on your sketch and discuss latch access, travel direction and the room needed on both sides.
For an automatic driveway or commercial gate, include who needs access, power arrangements and a separate pedestrian route in the initial conversation. We can review gates as a standalone project or as part of the fence installation.
A damaged panel and a failing line are not the same problem. Compare the posts at ground level, rail connections, adjacent sections and gate supports. A localized repair can be sensible when the retained components remain serviceable.
Send a close-up, a wider view and a description of what changed. For powered gates, avoid unsafe operation and include equipment identification only if it is safely accessible. Photos help us prepare; the final scope may require an on-site assessment.
Before the first post in Winston
Douglas County's FAQ identifies different stream-buffer requirements, including requirements for the Dog River basin, and directs property owners to county staff for basin-specific information. Douglas County planning FAQ.
Do not assume that every Winston parcel is in the same basin. If a proposed run approaches water or a drainage feature, confirm the applicable boundary and buffer with the county before choosing post locations.
Official resource checked September 21, 2026. Requirements can change; confirm the current rules for your parcel and proposed work before construction.
Bring these details
Municipal approval and private design approval are separate. Identify easements and coordinate utility locating before digging; do not use an existing fence as proof of a property line.
Use our planning checklistRepairs are welcome in Winston
On a long run, photograph transitions, corners and gate posts as well as the damaged section. We can discuss a defined repair area without assuming the entire property needs refencing.
Text a wider view and a close-up to (678) 245-1920, along with your name and location. Photos help start the conversation; we may need an on-site assessment to define the work. We will discuss the condition of the components that stay, not just the parts being replaced.

Equipment gates need room for the approach and turning movement as well as an adequate opening. Share vehicle dimensions and where the fence meets a public or shared access route.
Send plans or specifications, the project location and any bid deadline. Identify fence length, materials, openings, removal work and the access that must stay available. Commercial and repair work have separate warranty terms from qualifying new residential installations.

Before we get started
That depends on the animals and the fence design. An open rail layout may need suitable wire or a different system; tell us the intended use before selecting the fence.
The material, height, measured length, number and construction of gates, removal work, site access and ground conditions all affect the scope. A survey or layout and a few photos help us prepare; an accurate proposal should identify the selected system and what work is included.
