Post and Rail Fencing Peoria, IL

Installing a customized post and rail fence is an intricate process best left to experienced professionals. Here is a detailed overview of our tried-and-true process for installing beautiful, long-lasting post and rail fencing here:

Initial Consultation and Quote

The process starts when our friendly staff meets with you at your property for a detailed consultation. We’ll discuss your vision for the space, intended purpose, and specifications regarding dimensions, materials and other needs. Next, we measure the parameters and geography to provide an accurate on-site quote, allowing you to understand projected costs before moving forward.

Materials Selection

Once you decide to move forward with the project, we help you select the perfect materials including rot-resistant wood type (cedar and redwood are excellent choices), rail configuration, post size and spacing parameters to suit your aesthetic tastes, terrain and functional needs within your budget.

Permit Application and Securing

Next, our team submits professional drawings and permit applications to your local municipality on your behalf, securing all required permits for the Peoria region. We also call to utilities to be marked prior to digging. This protects underground lines while ensuring full compliance with local codes and ordinances.

Post Hole Installation

With permits and utility marking secured, we mobilize our crew to your property at the scheduled date/time to start the installation process. We bring all necessary equipment to efficiently dig precision post holes per specified depth and spacing parameters around the perimeter to be enclosed.

Post Setting and Leveling

Our foreman then leads the crew in setting and leveling the posts in the holes, verifying for plumb/alignment. We utilize gravel and specialty mixes beneath posts to facilitate proper drainage. Posts are then secured in their set positions.

Rail Installation and Attachment

Next we install and securely attach the horizontal rails to the posts per the predetermined configuration using galvanized brackets and fasteners built to last. We construct sections onsite prior to fitting and attaching the final railing assemblies one span at a time.

Gate and Hardware Installation (If applicable)

If your fence configuration includes one or more gates, we install hinges/hardware and assemble gates to swing smoothly on stable posts as part of the previous assembly process. Double gates may feature a drop rod to hold one door in place while allowing the other to swing open.

Cleanup and Protection

As we complete railing/fence installation, we clean up the entire work area and can apply weatherproofing sealant if desired. Temporary barrier fencing helps protect newly installed fixtures. We also provide tips for longterm care and maintenance before wrapping up.
