When it comes to protecting your property, enhancing curb appeal, and creating secure private spaces, nothing compares to a professionally installed fence. In Washington, where properties range from rural farms to suburban homes and commercial businesses, fencing plays a critical role in both function and aesthetics. At LaDue Fencing Inc., we’ve proudly served Grays Harbor, Pacific, Mason, Lewis, and Thurston Counties for over two decades with expert fencing solutions tailored to each client’s needs.
If you’re exploring options for a new fence or looking to replace or repair an existing one, this comprehensive guide will walk you through the essentials—from choosing materials and understanding zoning regulations to exploring fencing options for homes, businesses, and farms. Backed by over 20 years of experience, we’re here to help you make informed decisions with confidence.
Fencing serves multiple purposes. For homeowners, it offers privacy, keeps children and pets safe, and boosts property value. For businesses, it protects assets and controls access. For agricultural clients, fencing manages livestock, safeguards crops, and defines large properties. At LaDue Fencing Inc., we don’t just build fences—we create durable solutions that stand up to Washington’s wet, windy, and rugged climate.
When planning a fence installation, start by identifying your main goal. Here are common objectives and fencing types that best suit them:
Privacy: Solid wood or vinyl panel fencing blocks views for peaceful outdoor living.
Security: Chain-link with barbed wire, ornamental iron with gates, or electric fencing ensures perimeter protection.
Pet & Child Containment: Secure options include chain-link, wood with tight slats, or gap-free vinyl fencing.
Agricultural Use: High-tensile wire, electric fencing, barbed wire, and post and rail fencing manage livestock and define rural property lines.
Curb Appeal: Ornamental iron, custom wood, and decorative vinyl styles enhance property aesthetics and value.
Not all fences are created equal. Here’s a quick overview of popular materials:

Many fencing projects require compliance with local zoning laws, permits, or HOA guidelines. LaDue Fencing Inc. ensures each installation meets Washington requirements by assisting with permits, property line assessments, and necessary approvals, saving you time and avoiding costly mistakes.
DIY fencing projects often result in uneven lines, unstable posts, drainage issues, or zoning violations. Our team uses commercial-grade tools and proven methods to ensure proper installation for long-lasting durability and safety.
Keep your fence in top condition with these tips:
Wood Fences: Reseal or stain every 2–3 years, trim vegetation, and repair damaged boards promptly.
Chain-Link Fences: Inspect for rust, tighten fittings, and keep debris clear from the base.
Vinyl Fences: Wash twice a year, check for cracks, and avoid abrasive cleaners.
Iron Fences: Touch up paint as needed, inspect welds annually, and remove rust with a wire brush.
Regular maintenance prolongs lifespan, ensures safety, and preserves your property’s visual appeal.
