Why Blue Squirrel

A local fence company that plans before it builds.

Every project begins with the property: grade, access, drainage, architecture, privacy, safety, gates, neighborhood context, and local requirements. That planning turns a material choice into a fence that works.

Plan around the site

We check grade, drainage, access, utilities, sightlines, gates, and daily use before finalizing the layout.

Write the scope clearly

Materials, heights, post layout, gates, removals, finish details, and responsibilities are documented before work begins.

Install and verify

The crew checks alignment, transitions, hardware, cleanup, and gate operation before the final walkthrough.

What you can expect before, during, and after installation.

Our process

From site walk to final gate check.

We confirm the layout, grade, access, materials, gates, and written scope before installation begins.

    Site walk & priorities

    We review the fence line, grade, access, gates, drainage, privacy, pets, and the way the property is used.

  2. 2

    Selections & written scope

    We confirm materials, heights, posts, gates, removals, finish details, responsibilities, and pricing in writing.

  3. 3

    Installation & daily checks

    The crew lays out the work, installs the system, checks alignment and hardware, and keeps the work area organized.

  4. 4

    Final walkthrough & care

    We test gates, review the completed fence, explain care and warranty information, and document any final adjustments.

Fence planning questions we hear across Boulder County.

How much does a new fence cost in Boulder County?

Fence cost depends on linear footage, height, material, gates, demolition, grade, soil, access, and permit or review requirements. Blue Squirrel starts with the property and the intended use, then prepares a written scope so you can compare the real project rather than a misleading price per foot.

What happens during the first fence consultation?

We discuss privacy, pets, pools, security, appearance, gates, budget, and timing, then review the proposed fence line, grade, access, drainage, utilities, and nearby structures. The goal is to identify the decisions and site conditions that should shape the estimate.

Which fence material works best for Colorado homes?

Cedar offers natural character and flexible detailing; vinyl provides consistent privacy with less routine finishing; aluminum preserves views and works well for many pool and ornamental applications; and chain-link is practical for pets, long boundaries, and utility areas. The best choice depends on the property, exposure, maintenance expectations, and design goals.

Do I need a fence permit in Boulder County?

Rules depend on the exact jurisdiction, fence height, location, and site constraints. City of Boulder and unincorporated Boulder County use different thresholds, and floodplain, wetland, landmark, easement, corner-lot, or pool conditions can trigger additional review. We identify the likely jurisdiction and requirements before construction.

How long does fence installation usually take?

The on-site build may take a few days for a straightforward residential fence, but the full schedule also depends on design decisions, material availability, utility locates, permits, weather, demolition, access, and inspections. We explain the expected sequence for the specific property instead of promising a generic timeline.

Does Blue Squirrel warranty its fence installation?

Yes. Blue Squirrel includes a five-year workmanship warranty. Product or material warranties are separate and depend on the manufacturer and selected system; those details should be identified in the written project scope.
