Quality Fencing Built to Last

Quality fencing serves multiple purposes—defining property boundaries, creating privacy, securing livestock, and enhancing outdoor living spaces. Rscapes provides professional fence installation throughout Howard County and surrounding Maryland communities, with particular expertise in equine and agricultural fencing alongside residential privacy solutions.

Fencing That Serves Your Needs

Different properties require different fencing solutions. A suburban privacy fence serves different purposes than horse pasture fencing. Material choices, construction methods, and design considerations vary based on what you're trying to accomplish.

Rscapes approaches fencing with the same attention to function and quality that characterizes all our work. We assess your specific needs, recommend appropriate solutions, and install fencing built to perform in Maryland's conditions for years to come.

Fencing Services We Provide

Privacy Fencing

Create secluded outdoor spaces and define property boundaries with professionally installed privacy fencing. Quality privacy fencing enhances your ability to enjoy outdoor areas without feeling exposed to neighbors or passersby.

Privacy Fence Applications:

• Backyard enclosure and screening
• Pool area privacy and security
• Patio and outdoor living area definition
• Property boundary establishment
• Screening utility areas, HVAC equipment, or storage
• Creating private garden rooms

Privacy Fence Considerations:

• Height appropriate for screening purpose
• Material selection for appearance and durability
• Gate placement for access needs
• Local regulations affecting fence height and placement
• Terrain and grade changes along fence line

Equine Fencing

Horse owners need fencing that safely contains animals while standing up to equine behavior and Maryland weather. Rscapes has developed particular expertise in equine fencing, understanding the specific requirements that keep horses secure without creating hazards.

Equine Fencing Priorities:

• Visibility to prevent run-throughs
• Flexibility to absorb impact safely
• Height appropriate for horse containment
• Durability to withstand leaning, rubbing, and weather
• Gate function for daily use and emergency access
• Elimination of injury hazards (sharp edges, entanglement risks)

Equine Fencing Applications:

• Pasture perimeter fencing
• Paddock enclosures
• Run-in shelter areas
• Arena fencing
• Cross-fencing for pasture rotation
• Stallion or separation fencing

Livestock Fencing

Beyond horses, various livestock have specific fencing requirements. Cattle, goats, sheep, and other animals each present different containment challenges. We install livestock fencing appropriate for the animals being contained.

Livestock Fencing Considerations:

• Animal type and behavior patterns
• Containment security requirements
• Predator exclusion needs
• Grazing management and rotation
• Gate placement and handling facility access
• Terrain and property layout

Boundary and Property Fencing

Define your property limits with fencing that clearly establishes boundaries while complementing your property's character. Boundary fencing can range from simple wire fence on rural property to more finished solutions in suburban settings.

Boundary Fence Applications:

• Property line definition
• Neighbor separation
• Right-of-way delineation
• Access control
• Wildlife management

The Fencing Process

Consultation and Assessment

We begin by understanding your fencing objectives:

• What purpose will the fence serve?
• What's being contained or excluded?
• What aesthetic considerations matter?
• What's the property layout and terrain?
• What regulations or restrictions apply?
• What's your budget and timeline?

Layout and Planning

Proper planning ensures fencing achieves its purpose:

• Determining fence line routing
• Locating underground utilities
• Planning gate placement and sizes
• Addressing terrain challenges
• Selecting appropriate materials and construction methods
• Establishing work sequence

Professional Installation

Quality installation determines long-term fence performance:

• Post setting at correct depth and spacing
• Proper post alignment and bracing
• Material installation according to specifications
• Gate hanging and hardware installation
• Terrain accommodation on grade changes
• Hardware and fastener selection for durability

Completion and Handoff

Finished fencing ready for use:

• Final inspection and adjustment
• Gate function verification
• Site cleanup
• Care and maintenance guidance
• Addressing any questions or concerns

What Makes Quality Fencing

Proper Post Installation: Posts set to appropriate depth with proper backfill provide the foundation for fence durability. Inadequate post installation leads to leaning, movement, and premature failure.

Appropriate Materials: Material selection matched to application—what works for privacy fencing differs from equine requirements. Quality materials provide better appearance and longer service life.

Correct Construction Methods: How fence components connect matters for durability and appearance. Professional construction techniques create fencing that performs as intended.

Terrain Adaptation: Fences rarely run across perfectly flat ground. Proper handling of grade changes, dips, and obstacles ensures continuous function and appearance.

Quality Hardware: Gates, latches, hinges, and fasteners should match fence quality. Inferior hardware creates weak points in otherwise solid installations.

Signs You Need Fencing

Livestock or Horse Acquisition: Animals need containment before arrival.

Privacy Concerns: Neighboring activity visible from your outdoor spaces.

Property Definition: Uncertainty about boundaries or desire to establish them clearly.

Pool Installation: Safety regulations and practical needs require pool enclosure.

Security Considerations: Controlling access to your property.

Outdoor Living Enhancement: Creating defined outdoor rooms and spaces.

Replacing Failing Fence: Existing fencing declining beyond repair.

What Affects Fencing Project Scope

Fence Length: Total linear feet of fencing required.

Fence Type and Materials: Different fence styles and materials have different costs.

Height Requirements: Taller fencing requires more material and stronger construction.

Terrain Complexity: Slopes, obstacles, and difficult ground conditions affect installation.

Gate Requirements: Number, size, and style of gates needed.

Site Access: Ability to reach fence line areas with equipment and materials.

Demolition Needs: Removing existing fencing before new installation.

Line Clearing: Vegetation removal along fence routes.
