6 Steps to Prepare for Your New Fence Installation

Are you planning a new fence installation for your Indianapolis home? At Amerifence, we’re excited to help you bring your vision to life. A little preparation before installation day can help everything go smoothly. Here’s our guide to getting your property ready for our crew.

1. Review Your Contract and Homeowner Responsibilities

First, take a moment to review your installation agreement with Amerifence. The Customer Responsibilities section outlines some important steps we ask you to complete before work begins. This helps us serve you efficiently and avoid common delays.

2. Mark All Private Utility Lines

Before installation day, it’s strongly recommended that you mark all private utility lines; think irrigation systems, landscape lighting, propane lines for grills, or anything not handled when calling 811. If you need help understanding what counts as a private utility, we're here to help!

3. Clear the Fence Line

Our crew will need clear access along the entire fence line. Please move firewood, planters, toys, or any other items away from the area where your new chain link fence, cedar wood fence, vinyl fence, or aluminum fence will be installed. Trimming the grass also helps us work safely and efficiently.

4. Protect Your Plants and Secure Animals

Do you have decorative vines, trellises, or latticework along the property line? Take a few minutes to gently detach or protect these features. And, for everyone’s safety, please keep pets indoors or safely away from the work area during the installation.

5. Confirm Property Lines and Permits

It’s a good idea to double-check your property boundaries before installation day. Reviewing your plat map or consulting a professional can prevent headaches later. If you’re in an HOA community, see if there are any neighborhood rules, permits, or approvals needed for your new fence installation, especially when choosing fencing material.

6. Let Your Neighbors Know

Giving your neighbors a quick heads-up is always appreciated, especially if the new fence will border their property. Open communication can help avoid concerns during the project.
