This is the second time we've used 78 Fence. The first time was several years ago to do a cedar fence and large decorative iron driveway gate at our house. We have been absolutely delighted with the handsome look and security of the gate. So many cheap gates can be pulled open enough for someone to slip through but you can't move our gate more than an inch and it has been essentially trouble free.
This time we had Robert (the owner) do 6' cedar exterior and interior fences at a duplex we own. They used larger metal posts set more deeply in the ground than the fence we were replacing and it's much

78 Backyard Concepts did an amazing job transforming our back yard and front porch. The guys worked tirelessly to get the job done despite all the rain we've been having and we couldn't be happier with the outcome!! We're so grateful for all their work and are very much looking forward to enjoying our new space. I would highly recommend them!
