Somewhere out there, a homeowner is three weeks past their promised installation date, calling a number that goes to voicemail. The crew showed up once, dug a few post holes, and disappeared. The deposit is gone. The yard looks like something went wrong in a geology class. We started Down to Earth Fence because we believe North Georgia homeowners deserve better than that. This happens more often than the fence industry would like to admit. Picking a fence company sounds straightforward — you get a few quotes, pick someone, and they build the fence. But there are a dozen points in that process where things go sideways, and most of them are completely avoidable if you know what to look for going in. Down to Earth Fence has been installing fences in Cumming, and across North Georgia since 2022. We've heard these stories firsthand, usually from homeowners who found us after a bad experience with someone else. This guide is what we wish more people would read before they start making calls.
