Our HOA needed to revise our initial plans, and with that, Garrett returned to our home a couple times for measurements. Garrett and his associate Alex, are communicative and professional and a pleasure to chat with. The in between times, Garrett & Alex would clean up the yard, organize tools & supplies and prep for the next day! Growing up in a military household, I greatly appreciate their organizational & prep abilities. Their rates are competitive and our fence is absolutely fantastic!! I cannot say enough great things about American Fence! Our dogs are especially thrilled to have the running space again, and the privacy we needed! Thanks Garrett & Alex, fencing champions!!
