Residential and commercial fence installation and gates across the Salt Lake Valley, in wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, ornamental iron and composite.
No ghosting, no chasing us for a callback. You get a real start date, and we're there on it. With the crew, not a voicemail. That's what a local fence company owes its customers.
Half down to start, the rest only when it's done and you're happy with it. Licensed and insured throughout, so you're never handing the full amount to a crew that might not come back.
Every post is set two feet deep in concrete, not tamped dirt, with gate posts sunk deeper than the line. That's the difference between a fence that leans after one gust and one that doesn't, and it's why we set posts deeper here than the manual calls for.
Every install ends with a full walk-through and cleanup of your property. Old fence hauled away, site left cleaner than we found it. If something's off, we fix it before we call it done.
Trusted Fence Company was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend. Landon was very responsive with coordinating everything. He came out quickly to evaluate the fence problem I had, reviewed multiple options, gave me a fair price, and completed the job quickly. I’m very pleased with the work done.
I had a great experience with Trusted Fence and Landon. When I first reached out, they were very responsive and got to the house quickly to scope out the project.
We used Landon and his crew for one of our recent projects. They were timely and did a great job! If you’re looking for fencing in the salt lake area check them out.
Some fences solve a specific problem: a pool code, a digging dog, deer off the east bench. These are those fences.
Basketball, pickleball, and tennis courts need fencing that takes a ball at speed and keeps it in play. We build black chain-link and framed enclosures sized to the sport and tensioned tight, so the game stays on the court instead of in the neighbor's yard.

A fence is only as good as the gate in it, and a gate that sags, drags, or freezes shut in January is the thing you'll curse every single day. We install walk gates, double drive gates, and automatic access across Millcreek, Sandy, and Draper, with posts set deeper than the fence line and frames braced square so they stay true. If your current gate drags or won't latch, we'll replace it with one built to swing true.
Our gate installation work
Utah's high-altitude sun grays a cedar fence in about two summers, and a good finish is what stops it. We clean, brighten, and then stain, seal, or paint your fence so the color you paid for actually lasts, quoted up front instead of left to chance. We finish fences from Murray to Holladay, the ones we built and the ones we didn't, so a line worth keeping keeps its color for years rather than seasons.
Fence staining & sealing
A sloped lot, five odd corners, an HOA with opinions: some properties don't fit a catalog fence, and forcing one on them shows immediately. We design and build custom fencing to your actual property line: your grade, your materials, your restrictions, with drawings when the association needs them. One crew handles it from first sketch to final post, anywhere from Magna to Draper.

A privacy fence solves one problem: sightlines. No gaps between boards, panels run tall enough to block a neighbor's second story, and posts set deep enough that a Wasatch windstorm doesn't put pressure on the one line that's supposed to be solid. We build privacy fencing in wood, vinyl, and composite, sized and spaced to your yard, not a standard kit.
Privacy fence installation
Western red cedar wood fencing is still the Wasatch classic, warm, private, and at home against the mountains. But at this altitude, sun and freeze-thaw punish wood that's built wrong: shallow posts heave in winter and unsealed boards gray out in about two summers. We set every post two feet deep in concrete, build a board-on-board, shadowbox, or picket wood fence to your spec, and quote stain-and-seal up front so nothing surprises you later.
Wood fence installation
A vinyl fence is the no-upkeep answer: no paint, no rot, no staining, and a garden hose is the entire maintenance plan. The catch is that cheap panels chalk and warp under Utah's high-UV sun, which is why we install UV-inhibited, tongue-and-groove panels in white and almond that are warrantied not to fade. Panels rack with your grade, so sloped valley lots get a clean bottom line instead of stair-stepped gaps.

Chain link is the workhorse, the most fence per dollar you can put around a yard, a dog run, or a commercial lot. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated chain-link fencing from four to twelve feet for homes and commercial properties, tensioned properly so the mesh stays drum-tight instead of bagging in the canyon wind. It goes up fast, needs nothing afterward, and our per-foot pricing is written down before we start a single post hole.

Aluminum gives you the ornamental look without the ornamental maintenance, powder-coated, rust-proof, and rackable so it follows your slope without cutting panels. It's the fence that passes pool code while keeping your mountain view, which is why it's all over the valley's east side. Panels install quickly with minimal disruption to landscaping, and we spec height and picket spacing to your code requirements in the estimate.
How we install aluminum fences
Welded steel pickets are the fence you buy once (ornamental iron and steel are the same product here): real security and permanence, with enough transparency to keep the view you paid for. We build ornamental iron with spear or flat tops, custom heights for east-bench deer pressure, and estate gates to match. Every panel is powder-coated against Utah winters and every post is set plumb in concrete. Iron shows every shortcut, so we don't take any.
Ornamental iron fence installation
Composite (SimTek, Trex, and Avimore) gives you the woodgrain look without wood's rot and peeling, and enough mass to noticeably dampen road noise. It's built for what Salt Lake throws at a fence: freeze-thaw, wind, and high-altitude sun, which slowly softens its color over the years. It costs more per foot than cedar or vinyl up front, and we'll show you that math honestly against the low-maintenance payoff.
Is composite right for you?
We're a locally owned fence company based in Salt Lake City: no showroom, just trucks, tools, and crews across the valley. If you're inside Salt Lake County, from Magna to Draper and everywhere between, we'll come walk your property line for free. We build residential and commercial fencing alike, from backyard runs to commercial property and sport courts. Every customer gets the same crew standard across all our fence services, whether it's a 40-foot backyard run or a half-acre new install: we don't hand smaller jobs off to subcontractors. And for projects inside the city itself, we account for Salt Lake City fence permit requirements before we build.
THE TRUCK YOU'LL SEE PULL UP 
LANDON MICKELSON · OWNER & ESTIMATOR Trusted Fence is built around one idea: you should never have to wonder if we're coming back. Landon, the owner, walks your line and writes every quote himself. You're talking to the person who runs the company, not a call center reading a script. From there, an experienced crew builds it right, the way Utah weather actually demands.
What every fence installation includes:
It depends on material and footage. Chain link costs the least per foot, cedar and vinyl sit in the middle, and ornamental iron and composite are the premium end. Height, grade, gates, and old-fence teardown move the number too. That's why we quote in person, for free: you get an itemized, written price for your actual yard, and it's locked. We don't run gimmick offers or "today-only" discounts to get a signature: the number you sign is the number you pay. For a fuller breakdown of what moves the price, read how much fence contractors charge in Salt Lake City.
No. Estimates are free and there's no trip fee. We walk your property line, measure it, talk through materials, and put a number in writing. You pay nothing unless you decide to build.
We respond to every call and form the same day, and your quote includes a real start window, and it is one we hold. Once we're on site, most residential fences go up in one to three days depending on footage and material.
Height and material restrictions are common across Salt Lake Valley HOAs, and we deal with them constantly. Tell us your HOA and we'll spec the fence to match its rules, and give you the drawings and material sheets you need for approval before anything is ordered.
Usually, yes. Salt Lake City requires a permit from Building Services for fence installation, and the rules depend on height, material, and where the fence sits on your lot. Generally, fences can be 4 feet tall in front yards and 6 feet tall along the sides and back, with a lower limit near corner intersections. Homeowners can generally apply for their own primary residence, while rental and commercial properties need a licensed contractor. Outside the city, towns like Sandy, Draper, and Millcreek set their own rules. We check the requirements for your address before we build.
It is usually agreed between neighbors. Utah's fence cost-sharing law is written mainly around agricultural land, so on a typical residential lot a neighbor is not automatically required to pay half. We can quote the full line so the two of you can decide together. Put the split in writing and confirm the property line before work starts. If you are in a dispute, talk to a Utah attorney.
Usually, yes. Utah's freeze-thaw cycle is exactly why post depth matters, so we set posts two feet deep in concrete year-round. Deep frozen ground can occasionally push a start date, and if it will, we'll tell you straight instead of doing it wrong.
We make it right. Every job ends with a walk-through against a simple standard: plumb, level, square, site cleaned. If something's off, we fix it before final payment. After that, your install is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
