Expert Fence Contractors Serving Burlington, Washington
Burlington homeowners trust New Life Rockeries for professional fence installation that's built to last in the Pacific Northwest climate. We've been building fences across Burlington and surrounding communities since 1975, and we understand the materials, the terrain, and the craftsmanship that make a fence stand strong for decades.
Our Burlington fence installations use premium Western red cedar, Douglas fir, and vinyl materials selected for their durability in Washington's wet climate. Every fence is set on properly sized posts with concrete footings — no shortcuts that lead to leaning fences after the first winter.
Whether you need a privacy fence for your Burlington backyard, a decorative picket fence for your front yard, or a custom gate to complete your property, our team handles everything from permits to final cleanup. We'll walk your property with you, understand your goals, and provide a detailed written estimate before any work begins.
Our crews are licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington State. We never ask for payment until the job is done to your satisfaction.
Burlington is situated in the Skagit Valley, characterized by a mix of granular soils including gravels, sands, and silts, alongside areas of poorly drained Skagit series soils. The region's geological history, influenced by the receding Vashon glacier, has left behind glacial outwash and dense glacial till, which can tenaciously hold moisture. These conditions often necessitate retaining walls to manage drainage, prevent erosion, and stabilize slopes, especially in areas with varying topography.
In Burlington, Skagit County Planning & Development Services is the permit authority. A building permit is required for any retaining wall over 4 feet in height, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall. Projects requiring a permit will likely need construction documents prepared by a licensed engineer.
A homeowner in the Hillcrest neighborhood recently faced significant erosion on a sloped backyard, threatening their patio. We designed and installed a multi-tiered rockery system, integrating native plantings to stabilize the hillside and enhance the landscape. The new rockery effectively halted the erosion and created usable, level garden spaces.
