The Bay Area Difference
Most fence companies just dig holes. We are land experts first.
- The Best Foundation in SoMD: Because we specialize in land services, we understand soil drainage and grading better than anyone. Your posts won’t lean, and your gates won’t sag because we prep the ground correctly.
- Property Line Precision: We take the guesswork out of installation. We can clear old brush and debris from your property line before we build, giving you a cleaner, more professional result.
- Built for the Coast: We use high-grade, weather-resistant materials designed to withstand the humidity and salt air of the Chesapeake Bay region.

Answers to your fence questions...
Do I need a permit for a fence in Southern Maryland?
In most cases, yes, but requirements vary by county (Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s). Generally, fences over 6–7 feet or those located in "Critical Areas" (within 1,000 feet of the Chesapeake Bay or its tributaries) require a zoning permit. We are familiar with SoMD local codes and can help guide you through the permitting process.
How long does the installation take?
For an average residential yard, the actual physical installation typically takes 2 to 4 days.
Day 1: Site prep and setting the posts in concrete.
Day 2–3: Allowing concrete to cure (essential for Maryland’s variable soil).
Final Day: Attaching panels, pickets, and gates.
Can you install a fence if my property line is overgrown?
This is where we shine. Most fence companies require the "line" to be clear before they arrive. Because we are land service experts, we can provide a turnkey solution: we clear the brush, grind the stumps, and level the grade before we build, so you don't have to hire two different contractors.
What type of fence is best for the Maryland climate?
Vinyl: The #1 choice for Southern MD. It handles high humidity and salt air near the water without rotting or warping.
Aluminum: Perfect for waterfront views and pool enclosures because it won't rust.
Pressure-Treated Wood: A classic, budget-friendly option, though it requires staining every few years to handle the Maryland sun and rain.
Will you call Miss Utility before digging?
Yes. For every project, we handle the Miss Utility (811) call to ensure all underground power, water, and gas lines are clearly marked before we begin excavation.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Absolutely. We provide a workmanship warranty on every installation to ensure your gates stay aligned and your posts stay level. Many of our vinyl and aluminum materials also come with separate manufacturer lifetime warranties.
