Bayside Cedar Hog Wire Fence Project

Building a Fence That Fits Bayside’s Style and Standards

Bayside homeowner Erin L. contacted us with a clear goal. She wanted to create a fenced-in area where her small dogs could run freely, but she didn’t want to sacrifice the open feel of her backyard. The fence needed to be subtle, not bulky, and it had to meet Bayside’s strict residential fencing guidelines. We let her know we had experience working with the local review board and could build a hog wire fence that balanced visibility, security, and neighborhood aesthetics.

During our first visit, we noticed a dense perimeter of buckthorn along the property line. Clearing this space was essential to make room for a new fence layout that would work with the existing landscape while still providing the function Erin needed.

A Custom Hog Wire Fence with Attention to Detail

We constructed a hog wire fence framed in cedar using a black PVC-coated wire. The layout maintained an open view while clearly marking the space. Our team dug 48-inch footings to stabilize the posts and prevent future movement during seasonal ground shifts. Once the frame was set, we installed the wire panels and added cedar trim around each section for a clean, finished look.

Each gate was built to a custom width, with special attention paid to equipment access and traffic flow. The panels were carefully stepped to follow the slope of the lawn, keeping the entire fence consistent with the natural landscape.

Managing the Process and Permitting with Ease

From the first phone call to the finished cedar hog wire fence installation, the timeline was about a month and a half. Part of that was due to the necessary review board approvals, which are only scheduled once per month in Bayside. We handled that process directly, so Erin didn’t have to stress about paperwork or coordinating with the village.

We also special-ordered the exact type of wire she wanted, ensuring every detail met her expectations. Throughout the build, we kept Erin updated and involved so she felt confident and informed at every step.

A Fence That Blends Practicality with Personality

The finished cedar hog wire fence checked every box. It provided a secure space for Erin’s dogs, maintained the view of her backyard, and met all of Bayside’s appearance standards. Erin appreciated the thoughtful construction and the communication throughout the project. She even left us a heartfelt review highlighting how the project felt more like a partnership than a service.
