Materials & Options

Richmond homeowners often choose wood fencing for a classic look and good privacy, or vinyl fencing for low maintenance and long life. Chain link is a budget-friendly option for boundaries and durability. For a more open, traditional look, ranch rail in wood or vinyl is popular. We can connect you with contractors who install all of these, so you can compare materials and prices in one place.
