Ron Clayton, owner of Alpine Fence, was great to work with. He explained the fence project and what was needed to make it successful. In fact, I did not end up hiring Alpine Fence because Ron alerted me to a critical issue. I really appreciated Ron's prompt response to my request for an estimate and then our onsite meeting where he explained the preparation needed before Alpine Fence could install a new fence. I also appreciated his observations about the condition of the existing retaining wall, as I had not previously considered how that impacted the fence.
In the process of looking for others to clear the vegetation, I ended up getting more feedback on the condition of the retaining wall including input from the prior property owner who said the wood retaining wall could be as much as 50 years old. Hence, I decided to replace the retaining wall as well as the fence. Rather than attempt to manage coordination between a contractor replacing the retaining wall and a contractor constructing the fence, I decided to go with a contractor who will do both of these jobs.
I ended up NOT hiring Alpine Fence because I decided to engage another contractor who will do all of the work in the backyard including replacement of the retaining wall, fence installation and grading of the backyard.
