Murray's wide post-war ranch lots sit beneath mature Norway maples and cottonwoods that define the neighborhood character, and many properties benefit from alley access that opens up real options for fence work and gate installation. Salt Lake City Fence Company has served Murray and the surrounding Salt Lake City area since 2012, and we know how to work on these older, tree-lined properties where space is tight and sight lines matter.

Whether you need a new wood privacy fence along your front line, a vinyl fence that won't rot in the shade of those big trees, chain link for a side yard, or an automatic gate for your driveway, our fully insured team handles the whole job from start to finish, right here in 84107.

Fencing and Gates in Murray (84107)

Murray's neighborhoods are built on properties that often run deep and narrow, with mature tree cover and alley access behind the older blocks. That means fence runs frequently navigate around established landscaping, work around utility lines, and need to be set with care so posts sit solid in the ground and rails run true even on uneven terrain. We install wood and vinyl privacy fences, chain link, aluminum and ornamental iron, and we repair what's already standing when the wood hasn't failed or the posts haven't heaved too far.

Since 2012, our team has worked on hundreds of Murray properties. We're AFA Member Installers through the American Fence Association, we're fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation, and we know the local building codes and HOA rules that apply to residential fencing in Murray and the Salt Lake City area. When you call us, you get the same crew that shows up to do the work.

How a Fence Job Works in Murray

Step 1: Free on-site visit. We come out, walk your property, talk through what you want, measure the fence line, and give you a straight estimate. No pressure, no sales pitch. We'll tell you if a repair makes sense or if replacement is the better spend.

Step 2: Before we dig any post holes, we coordinate a Utah 811 utility locate so we know where the buried lines are. Then we set posts in concrete, run stringers and rails, and attach pickets or panels. If your lot is uneven, we rack the fence (step it down the slope) or set it level, depending on what you want and what the terrain allows. For gates, we make sure they swing freely, latch properly, and won't sag over time.

Step 3: We clean up all debris, haul away scrap, and walk through the finished job with you. Your property is left clean and the fence is ready to work.

A wood privacy fence in Murray typically runs from $29 per linear foot for standard pressure-treated pine with basic trim, and vinyl privacy fence runs from $40 per linear foot. Chain link is the most economical option at $17 per linear foot and works well for side yards and pet containment. Ornamental aluminum or iron runs from $44 per linear foot. Fence repair starts at $475 for post replacement or structural fixes, and a full replacement job (removal and new fence) runs from $2,550 depending on the length and material you choose. Gate installation and repair start at $500, and automatic driveway gates begin at $2,950. The best way to know what your project will cost is to call us at (385) 354-7337 for a free estimate. We'll measure, assess the site, and give you a real number.

Do I need a permit for a fence in Murray?

Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction in the Salt Lake City area. Some cities and counties require a permit for residential fencing, and some do not. Your Murray property may also be subject to HOA architectural standards, which frequently govern fence height, material, and color. We recommend confirming permit requirements with the Murray City Building Department and reviewing any HOA covenants before we start. We're happy to help you understand what applies to your property.

Can I repair my existing fence instead of replacing it?

Often yes. If the posts are still solid and only a few boards are rotted or a section has come loose, repair is usually the smarter choice. We look at the whole fence, identify what's failed and why (typically moisture at the ground line where wood meets soil), and tell you honestly whether repair will hold or if replacement makes better sense. A repair can cost a few hundred dollars and buy you years. We'll never talk you into replacement when repair is the right call.

What's the difference between vinyl and wood fence?

Wood (pressure-treated pine or cedar) is traditional, looks classic, and costs less to install. It requires periodic staining and sealing to hold up, especially in shaded yards where moisture lingers. Vinyl (PVC) doesn't rot, never needs stain, and holds up well in the shade under those big Murray maples. Vinyl costs more upfront but needs almost no maintenance. Both can last 20+ years if installed right. We can help you decide based on your budget and how much maintenance you want to do.

How deep do fence posts need to be set?

Posts should be set at least 2.5 to 3 feet deep for residential fencing, with concrete around the base to lock them in place. Deeper is better in loose soil or on slopes. We set posts in concrete rather than tamping them with dirt alone because concrete holds them vertical and prevents heave and movement over time. Proper post depth and concrete setting is the difference between a fence that lasts 20 years and one that leans after five.

My fence is leaning. Can it be fixed, or do I need a new one?

It depends on how far it's leaning and why. If posts have heaved (frost or water movement), we can sometimes reset or replace the bad posts and brace the fence back to plumb. If the whole run has settled or the posts are rotted at the base, replacement is usually the better choice. We'll come out and assess it for free. Leaning fences get worse over time, so it's worth addressing sooner rather than later.

Are your crews fully insured?

Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. This protects you and your property while we're working.

Can you install a gate at the end of my driveway?

Yes. We install manual swing gates, cantilever gates for longer driveways, and automatic driveway gates with electric operators. A basic manual gate runs about $500, and an automatic gate system starts around $2,950. We make sure gates swing freely, latch securely, and won't sag. If you want an automatic gate, we can discuss cantilever versus V-track systems and what works best for your driveway grade and length.
