Four questions sort out almost every fence decision. Most Green Bay homeowners who want privacy without the upkeep land on vinyl — but the right answer depends on your yard, your budget, and how much weekend maintenance you're up for.

Buying a fence in Green Bay
How much does a fence cost in Green Bay?
It depends on length, height, and material. Wood and chain link start lowest; vinyl and aluminum cost more up front but need almost no upkeep. Most residential projects land in the low-to-mid four figures — and your written, itemized quote is always free.
What's the most low-maintenance fence?
Vinyl, hands down. No paint, no stain, no rot — just an occasional rinse with a hose. That's exactly why vinyl is our most-requested style across Northeast Wisconsin.
Wood or vinyl — which should I choose?
Wood is the classic look and costs less up front; vinyl costs a bit more but never needs sealing and often costs less to own over 15–20 years. We'll price both at your free quote so you can compare real numbers.
What's the best fence for dogs?
Chain link and vinyl privacy are both excellent for dogs. We size the height to your dog and can add a bottom rail or dig guard to stop escape artists.
How long does fence installation take?
Most residential fences go in within 1–3 days once permits and utility locates clear, plus time for the post concrete to cure. We'll give you a realistic timeline with your quote.
Do I need a permit to install a fence?
In almost every Green Bay-area municipality, yes — and rules vary by town and HOA. We pull the permit for your specific location and call Diggers Hotline (811) for utility locates as part of every job.
