This project had a lot of custom detailing. It’s a lot of fun to take a bare yard and transform it into something so beautiful.
This modern horizontal fence was built using the clear Redwood that is very popular. Clear redwood means that there are not any knots in the wood and it’s also been dried out. There’s a huge difference in the final product when you spend a little more on Dry wood compared to using wet wood for the fence boards.
There is a lot of custom concrete work that was involved with this as well. We had to pour this concrete on a bit of a slope and correctly install the automatic driveway gate. The electric installation is one of the nice things about our company.
All of the gates are steel framed for longevity. The color was a semi-transparent Behr product and the color was Antique Brass.
The client was very happy with the final product and it was such a please fulfilling their expectations.
