The county line along 244th splits Bothell's paperwork; the weather ignores it, and the ground on both sides stays wet from October into spring. We build cedar and vinyl fences for that ground, posts set deep in concrete, with one city permit desk covering every address in town.

Free quoteCedar privacy fencingRiver flats, hill lots, and blocks pushing a hundred years old all fit inside one city, and each takes a fence down its own way. Here's what we build against in Bothell, low ground first.
Flat yards near the Sammamish River and along North Creek hold winter water well into spring; anyone who still calls the river the slough has watched it happen every year. Standing water is the real post killer around here, since the ground rarely freezes deep enough to bother a post, and a shallow post in a wet hole goes soft right at the dirt line. On the low ground we dig past the wet layer, set treated posts rated for burial, and finish each footing on a bevel so rain rolls off the concrete instead of soaking the wood.
Norway Hill, Westhill, Maywood: a good share of Bothell lives on a slope, and a slope hands a fence two jobs at once. The panels have to step down the grade with the bottom rail tight to the ground the whole way, and the downhill posts have to carry every gallon of rain the yard above them sheds all winter. We lay out the steps before anything gets dug, then set the low-corner posts deeper with drain rock in the hole, so the post that catches the most water is also the one built to take it.
The fences on the 1920s craftsman blocks off Main Street have mostly outlived the people who built them, and it shows: new boards screwed over old rails, rails hung on posts nobody has seen the bottom of since the Anderson School was still a school. One more patch just moves the lean somewhere else. We price the tear-out and haul-away up front, walk the line with you to settle where it actually sits, and set a straight new run the next owner of that house will be glad to inherit.
Cedar privacy is running $35 to $60 a linear foot installed right now, vinyl $45 to $70, and a walk gate $400 to $900. Those are market ranges only; what moves a Bothell number is slope on the hill lots and tear-out on the old blocks, and the math behind the ranges, worked example included, sits in what a fence costs in Snohomish County. The number that actually belongs to your yard is the free written quote, and we only write it after walking the line with you. That quote is the price we bill unless you sign off on a change first.

Our review page is thin and we're leaving it that way until real customers fill it. In the meantime, these four things check out whether you trust us or not.
Whoever prices your fence is on the crew that builds it. You won't be introduced to a different company on day one.
Printed with the rest of the paperwork before you sign, so what's covered never depends on anyone's memory.
The figure on the written quote is the figure on the bill. Scope changes get priced on paper and signed first.

Bothell is the bottom corner of our service map, and the rest of the fence pages run north from here. The concrete stays the same town to town; the ground it goes into keeps changing.
Tell us what the fence needs to do, or lead with a photo; one clear shot of the line tells us most of what we need. Whichever county your half of Bothell is in, the same crew calls you back.
Your photo goes to the crew, not a queue. You usually hear back within one business day at (206) 735-1286.
