"This the second fence I have had SP Fence install. They did an excellent job on this fence just like they did on the first fence. The first fence is now 7 years old and still looks great. They did 2 maintenance visits on the first fence and both were great. If I need a third fence in the future I am definitely calling SP Fence, nice people, quality work, good price."

"I ended up going with a 6ft privacy fence. It looks fantastic. And a 4ft dog run. The customer service is outstanding. They checked in with me regarding the 3 gates that were being installed. We discussed which direction gates should swing (in or out) as well as which side I wanted the handle (left or right side of door). I appreciated that since it truly does make a difference. I will be having them come back in early summer to stain the wood."

"We had contacted another fence contractor from Home Advisor and they were not interested in our business. But John's Fence contacted us immediately, came out and quoted us and showed up on time, doing a fantastic job. We will definitely use them again in the future. They were friendly, understood what we wanted and really went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied."

"Outstanding Vinyl Fence & Exceptional Service from D & D Fencing! We couldn’t be happier with our vinyl fence from D & D Fencing. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free—and Juvi is truly the reason this project turned out so great. Juvi was knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly easy to work with. He took the time to explain our options, answered every question, and made sure the fence design fit our property perfectly. His attention to detail and pride in his work really showed. The vinyl fence itself looks amazing—clean, sturdy, and high-quality. It completely transformed our yard and instantly boosted our home’s curb appeal. The installation was efficient, precise, and left everything neat and clean afterward. If you’re looking for a reliable fencing company that delivers top-notch results, D & D Fencing is the way to go. And if you get the chance to work with Juvi, you’re in excellent hands. Highly recommended!"

"About a month ago, we had them patch up the old fence around our back yard. Then, just last week, they put back up a section of fence blown down by a recent wind. Though, because of the volume of such repair jobs, they made the repair later than scheduled, they did the job at no cost! They were incredibly generous! They won us over completely, and we'll use them again when we replace the entire fence."

FAQs for fencing service projects in Lake Forest, IL

The time it takes to install a swimming pool fence varies depending on the project's complexity. A simple installation can be completed in about two hours. However, if your project involves concrete work, regrading, custom installations, or challenging terrain, it could take up to two full days. Each additional factor increases the labor and time needed to ensure your fence meets safety standards.

Yes, installing a lock on your pool gate enhances safety by preventing unauthorized access. A self-closing, self-latching gate with a key-lock mechanism provides strong protection, helping to keep children and pets safe. Securing your pool gate adds an extra layer of security and offers peace of mind when using the pool area.

A pool fence requires a specific height to secure the pool area. In most states, the fence must be 48 inches tall; some regulations require 60 inches for enhanced safety. Checking local building codes guarantees compliance with these height requirements. A taller fence strengthens protection and improves the overall security of your pool area, ensuring it meets stringent safety standards.

Mesh and tempered glass are among the safest pool fencing choices because their design and smooth surfaces make them resistant to climbing attempts. They provide consistent, rigid barriers that prevent unauthorized access to your pool area. These materials ensure optimal safety for children and pets. In addition, incorporating a pool safety net further enhances protection and addresses additional security concerns, ensuring that your pool remains a safe environment for all users.

Pool fencing requirements vary by local, state, and federal regulations. In most states, installing a pool fence is mandatory for safety and insurance purposes. Ask your pool fence pro for local regulations or check with your local planning department to understand the specific height and design requirements for your area. Complying with these regulations ensures legal compliance and enhances safety.
