The Vinyl Fence Installation Process: What to Expect with Ogden Fencing & Landscaping

​Planning to Install a Vinyl Fence? Here’s Exactly What Happens (Start to Finish)
Vinyl fencing is a popular choice in Ogden for good reason—it’s durable, low-maintenance, weather-resistant, and offers clean, modern curb appeal. But what actually happens between your initial call and that beautiful new fence in your yard?

At Ogden Fencing & Landscaping, we believe transparency is everything. So here’s a breakdown of the full vinyl fence installation process, from consultation to clean-up.

​Step 1: Initial Consultation & Quote
Your vinyl fence project begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. We’ll meet you on-site to:

• Discuss your fencing goals (privacy, security, style)
• Measure the fence line and note slopes, obstructions, and property lines
• Talk about height, color, and style preferences (privacy panels, lattice tops, gates, etc.)
• Review local codes and HOA requirements
• Provide a clear estimate with timeline and cost breakdown

Step 2: Site Prep & Layout

• Once your quote is approved and materials are ordered, our team gets to work prepping your property.
• We measure and stake out the exact fence line
• Mark post locations to ensure spacing is even and compliant with vinyl system specs
• Address any terrain challenges (slopes, rocks, uneven grade)
• Remove old fencing if applicable (we handle tear-out and disposal)
• This step ensures your new vinyl fence installs straight, secure, and with clean symmetry.

Step 3: Post Hole Digging & Setting Posts
Now it’s time to get into the ground—literally.

1. We dig precise holes for each post, typically 24–30 inches deep
2. Holes are filled with concrete, not dirt, to ensure long-term strength
3. We carefully level and align each vinyl post, allowing proper cure time
4. For sloped yards, we use racked or stepped panels, depending on your fence type
5. Proper post installation is what makes your fence last decades, especially with Utah’s shifting weather.

Step 4: Installing Panels & Gates

• Once posts are set and the concrete has cured:
• We slide the vinyl fence panels into place between the posts
• Secure everything using hidden brackets or routed posts for a clean, seamless look
• Custom-cut panels to fit corners or short spans as needed
• Install vinyl gates with strong hinges and locking latches (we also offer key lock or self-closing options)
• Every section is measured and double-checked to ensure your fence is level, secure, and uniform.

 Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Clean-Up
Before we wrap up, we always do a full-site walkthrough with you.

• Inspect the alignment, gate operation, and panel fit
• Answer any maintenance questions
• Remove leftover materials, concrete, and packaging
• Leave your yard clean and picture-ready
• Your satisfaction is the final step in our process.

Maintenance Tips for Your New Vinyl Fence

• One of the best parts about vinyl fencing is how easy it is to maintain.
• Wash with soap and water once or twice a year
• Check gate hinges periodically and tighten if needed
• No staining, sealing, or painting required—ever
• Resistant to UV, water damage, insects, and rot
