Fence rebuild and light landscaping
Hello! We are looking to rebuild our fence + some light landscaping help and advice. We have a budget of about $25,000, and we expect most of that will go to the fence. Does anyone have advice of a company that can help us design the fence + plan out some landscaping + build the fence? We think we'd do most of the landscaping ourselves, but really want someone to come and help us plan what we can plant, where we can do some hardscaping, and help us think through what would look best.

We have worked with Casimiro Landscaping four times now--once for a fence, twice on our yard (front and side yard) and for our deck, and have been happy with their work every time. Jose is great to work with, and our landscaping/fence/deck still look amazing years later! Highly recommended! https://www.yelp.com/biz/casimiro-landscaping-services-richmond
Howdy landscapers-to-be, I'm on the same path upon which you're about to embark, and can offer a couple of pointers regarding the fence. First of all, I'm having a hard time imaging what type / length of fence you envision, if you're thinking "most of" of your $25,000 budget will go toward the fence. I'm getting about 95' of new fence installed, with three bids falling in the $6,500 - $7,500 range. One company bid it at over $22,000, which struck me as offensive to say the least (and yes, I've done lots of hard manual labor, dug more fence post holes than I care to remember, and that price was somewhere between nuts and offensive).
You can go online and punch up a number of local fence building companies, most with good online pics of fence varieties, and most of them can help make recommendations during a visit. If you haven't done it already, literally write down the purpose and goals for your fence: privacy? keep out deer, dogs, people? design aesthetics? As I'm sure you know, different fences achieve different results ... but talk and write them down!
As for actual companies, I got fence bids from Reuben Borg Fence 888-851-8888 reubenborgfence.com; Bayside Fencing 925-420-6268 bayside fencing.com; and Lifescaping 916-984-4911 (has local offices) lifescaping.com . Good luck, and best to you, Kirk out.
