Plan for the way you use the yard
Tell us where you relax, how you access the side yard, and what needs to move through the gate. We connect privacy, sightlines and everyday access rather than choosing a fence style in isolation.

Fence building & remodeling
A better boundary. A more welcoming home.

LeviArs helps homeowners across King and Snohomish Counties plan their fence building & remodeling project. Design, selections and construction are coordinated through our Kirkland Design Center.
A considered garden boundary
Make your yard feel more private, organized and connected to your home. LeviArs Design & Remodeling helps you plan a new fence, replace an aging boundary, or improve an existing fence and gate with a clear design and construction scope.
From a garden entrance to a longer backyard privacy fence, we bring the layout, material choices, access and installation details into one conversation. Start with your priorities; we will help define the next step.
A fence is part of the way you enter, use and look at your home. Choosing the boards or panels is only one decision. The route, posts, gates, transitions and maintenance plan matter too.
Tell us about your fence projectOne coordinated project
Tell us where you relax, how you access the side yard, and what needs to move through the gate. We connect privacy, sightlines and everyday access rather than choosing a fence style in isolation.
Discuss fence color, board direction, post details and gate hardware alongside the home, patio and other outdoor finishes. Our Kirkland Design Center is the place to start that conversation; ask which relevant samples are available before visiting.
Your proposal identifies the fence sections, materials, preparation, removal, installation and exclusions. Surveying, difficult access, unusual ground conditions, finishing and specialist work are addressed rather than assumed included.
Design decisions, materials and construction planning stay connected through LeviArs. For a larger outdoor project, we can discuss how the fence relates to the patio, deck, outdoor kitchen and routes around the property.
Build, replace or improve
Start with the areas you want to improve. We confirm project fit, materials and the work included before preparing the proposal.
Define a new garden edge, replace an open boundary or add privacy around a selected part of the yard. We review the proposed route, intended height, site conditions and gate locations before confirming the material and installation scope.
Replace an aging fence or change its appearance and function. A remodel can involve selected panels, a full run, gate changes or a different style. We evaluate the existing supports and the new loads rather than assume old posts can carry every replacement system.
Discuss leaning sections, loose boards, damaged rails, deteriorated posts or gates that no longer operate well. Repair suitability depends on the underlying cause and condition. Cosmetic work alone is not a solution for failing supports or unstable ground.
Create a more enclosed setting for dining, relaxing or a side-yard transition. Privacy depends on board spacing, views, grade and the approved height. A decorative screen, a boundary fence and a guard at a drop-off can have different design requirements.
Plan a welcoming garden gate or a practical side-yard entrance. The scope considers clear opening, swing, grade, hinges, latch position, supporting posts and the equipment that needs to pass. A gate should work with the fence, not be an afterthought.
Connect fence work with an existing patio or a new outdoor-living plan. Access, material movement and sequencing are discussed together. Masonry columns, retaining walls, electrical work, powered gates and other specialist features require separate confirmation.

Room to enjoy the garden
Coordinate board direction, posts, planting and the paths you use every day. Privacy and access work best when they are planned together.
Discuss your fenceMaterials & care
These are material directions to discuss, not a live inventory or a promise that every system suits every property. The selected manufacturer, construction, color, availability and installation requirements are confirmed in the proposal.
Proportion, views & privacy
Consider both sides of the boundary, the changing ground level and the views you want to keep.
A familiar garden boundary. Discuss board spacing, caps, exposed posts and how both sides will look.
A contemporary visual line. Support, board movement and grade changes are resolved with the chosen system.
Overlapping or alternating layouts can create different views through the fence. Review the actual sample detail rather than assume complete privacy from every angle.
A lighter edge for an entry or garden. Height, openings and location must suit the intended use and local requirements.
An additional design feature, subject to overall height and support requirements. A decorative top is not exempt from the project review.
Grade changes can require stepped panels or a system designed to follow the slope. Ground gaps, gate swing and drainage are considered before ordering.
An easier way in
Tell us what needs to pass: people, a lawn mower, bins, bicycles or larger equipment. A single pedestrian gate and a wider double gate need different supports and hardware. We confirm opening direction and clearances before construction.
A gate-only replacement may be possible when the surrounding fence and supports are suitable. If posts have moved or deteriorated, new hinges alone may not solve the problem.
Powered driveway gates, access controls, pool gates and required emergency-access routes need specialist review. They are not included in standard pedestrian-gate work unless specifically confirmed in writing. Any pet-containment priorities must be discussed; no fence replaces supervision or guarantees containment.
Practical decisions first
Property boundaries, approvals, underground utilities and yard access need attention before work begins.
An existing fence, online parcel map or landscaping edge does not by itself establish the legal boundary. The owner provides reliable boundary information, and a licensed surveyor may be needed when the location is uncertain. Fence work is not a property survey.
Fence height, front and corner yards, sightlines, easements, critical areas, shorelines and retaining walls can affect what is allowed. A building-permit exemption does not remove zoning or other obligations. The proposal identifies permit and review responsibilities and fees.
Required utility-locate requests and responses are addressed before post-hole work. Privately owned lines may need a separate locator. Tell us about irrigation, outbuilding power, invisible pet fences, drains and other known underground features.
Discuss pets, children, gates, neighboring access, vegetation, irrigation and where materials can be staged. Temporary containment is a separate arrangement; an open fence line cannot be assumed secure during demolition and installation.
Confirm the requirements for your property with Kirkland permit guidance or Seattle fence guidance. See Washington 811 for utility-locate information.
From the first idea
Connect the layout, material selections and construction scope before work begins.
Tell us your city, the purpose of the fence, preferred appearance and whether you need gates. Photos and approximate lengths help begin the discussion but do not replace a site assessment.
Review the proposed route, grade, visible ground conditions, access, existing structures, vegetation and gate use. Note conditions that may require further investigation, surveying or specialist involvement.
Resolve the intended property-line location using appropriate information. Review the relevant zoning, permit, easement, association and site restrictions before the final layout is approved.
Agree the material system, style, panel arrangement, finish direction, gate openings and hardware. Select supports and connections for the actual system and site rather than a universal spacing or footing detail.
Identify sections, quantities, preparation, materials, installation, removal where needed, finishing, responsibilities and exclusions. Confirm payment milestones and any design or consultation fee in the agreement.
Obtain the approvals needed for the agreed work. Complete the required utility-locate process, consider private lines and confirm access, staging and temporary protection before digging.
Confirm the approved fence line, corners and gate positions. Post foundations or approved attachments are constructed for the soil, loads and fence system, with inspections where required and the appropriate curing or waiting periods.
Build the specified assembly with suitable connectors and product-specific spacing and movement details. Follow the planned grade transitions and protect retained surfaces and features.
Install the agreed gates, caps, trim and hardware. Review gate operation, latching, clearances and fasteners. Staining, painting, electrical features and landscape repairs occur only when included and conditions allow.
Review the finished scope, remove agreed debris and explain care, product limitations and any initial use restrictions. Record remaining agreed items and provide the applicable workmanship and manufacturer information.
Make more of what is there
Review what can stay, what needs attention and what you would like to change.
Review the visible condition of boards, panels, rails, posts, gates, foundations and grade. Discuss damage history and proposed changes. Hidden conditions may only become visible after removal.
Decide whether targeted repairs are reasonable or whether a larger replacement better addresses the cause of failure. Reusing old posts is subject to condition, alignment, foundation and compatibility with the new fence.
Replacing a fence does not prove its former location or height was compliant. Review boundary information, any new loads, material changes, gates and applicable requirements before confirming reuse.
Identify retained components, removal, disposal, repairs, new work, finish treatment and exclusions. Plan pets, access, temporary openings and approval of unforeseen work before demolition.
Complete required locates and protection before disturbing the ground. Remove the agreed sections, expose supports where necessary and document additional conditions before covering them with new work.
Replace or repair supports and attachments as agreed. Address identified ground or drainage concerns within the contracted scope. Retaining-wall movement, major roots, utilities or structural issues may need separate specialist work.
Install the approved boards or panels, rebuild agreed sections and fit gates and hardware. Review the transition to retained work. New and weathered materials may not match exactly, even when the original product is available.
Complete the agreed finish work when the products and conditions permit. Check operation and alignment, clear agreed debris, review outstanding items and explain care and project-specific coverage.
