Best Time of Year to Install a Fence

Antelis Fence & Hardscapes

Fences can technically go in almost any time of year, but some seasons make the process smoother than others for Matthews homeowners. Here's what to consider when timing your project.

Fall and Early Spring Are Often Ideal

Cooler temperatures make for more comfortable working conditions, and the ground is typically easier to dig than during a summer dry spell or the depths of winter freeze.

Summer Works Too - With Trade-Offs

Summer is our busiest season, which can mean a longer wait for scheduling. Heat can also slow down crews on especially hot days, though it's still a perfectly workable time for installation.

Winter Considerations

Frozen or waterlogged ground can complicate post-hole digging in winter, but mild winter days in our area are often still workable. It also tends to be a quieter season for scheduling.

Plan Around Your Own Timeline

If you have a specific deadline - a pool opening, a landscaping project, or an event - it's worth booking further in advance during our busier spring and summer months.
