Before your fence installation
A little preparation can keep your project moving and help prevent unexpected delays. Before construction, consider the items below.
Property lines
If the fence will follow a property boundary, make sure you know where that boundary actually is. Existing fence lines aren't necessarily proof of the surveyed property line.
Easements
Know whether utility, road, or other easements affect the proposed fence location.
Underground utilities
Missouri requires notification of Missouri 811 before excavation.
Missouri 811 — before you dig →Private utilities
Tell us about anything underground that a public utility locate may not identify — private water lines, septic systems, irrigation, electric lines to barns or outbuildings, drainage systems, and similar.
Gate locations
Think about not only where you enter today, but where trucks, trailers, tractors, hay equipment, and emergency vehicles may need access later.
Future plans
Tell us if you're considering future paddocks, buildings, additional gates, livestock-water systems, or other improvements. Planning now may prevent unnecessary rework later.
Animals
Tell us what you're trying to contain — or keep out. A fence designed for cattle isn't automatically the right fence for horses, goats, sheep, dogs, or wildlife.
Terrain
Creeks, drainage areas, hills, timber, and changing grades can affect fence design and installation.
