Here’s a layout of the basic steps. Take a look here for more details on. how to prepare for installing a fence .
- Get your plat (a plat is a survey map showing the divisions of the land where your property lies).
- Get the permits (where required).
- Clean your yard (not only where the fence will go, but also to make space for materials).
- Stake out the property line.
- Stake out the fence line (where you’re planning your fence to go up in locations other than your property line).
- Clear the fence line (doing this ahead of the workers will save their time and your money).
- Talk to your neighbors (they say that good fences make good neighbors, but not if you don’t talk to them about it).

- Get HOA Approval or permit ready before the day of the installation.
