PASADENA, MD – September 08, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

With the fall installation season underway across Anne Arundel County, All Around Fence & Decks has released guidance for homeowners deciding whether to build a fence now or wait until spring, explaining how cooler-weather installation works and why the coming months are a practical time to plan the project.

Fence work is often treated as a summer job, something homeowners schedule in June and stop thinking about once the weather turns. The reality on the ground is different. Installation continues comfortably through fall and into early winter, as long as each post is set below the frost line and anchored in concrete before the soil freezes solid.

The frost line is the depth to which the ground freezes in winter, and setting a post beneath it keeps the seasonal freeze from lifting the fence as the soil swells. That footing depth is standard practice for the company, which sizes each concrete footing to the local soil so the line stays plumb through the region’s freeze and thaw.

All Around Fence & Decks is a family-owned contractor based in Pasadena that has installed fences across Anne Arundel County for more than 25 years. It holds Maryland Home Improvement Commission license #97820, a state contractor license carried with no complaints on record, along with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and an Angie’s List Super Service Award earned in 2014. Owners Jim Ver Hoef and his son Jeremy Verhoef stay involved in each project, with an owner present at the first measurement and again at the final walkthrough.

Much of the guidance concerns the paperwork that runs ahead of any dig. Fence projects in the county often require a permit, and homes inside a managed community may also need approval from a homeowners association before work begins, a review that can take several weeks on its own. Starting in the fall leaves room to clear those approvals, confirm property lines, and have utility lines marked before the ground is broken, rather than compressing all of it into the first warm week of spring. Across more than 25 years of work in the area, the company has found that homeowners who plan in the fall tend to have their fence standing well before the spring schedule fills and the wait for an installation date grows longer.

Material choice also shapes a cold-weather build. Vinyl and aluminum panels install in much the same way year round. Wood is different, because it is a natural material that moves with moisture and temperature, and pressure-treated boards can shift slightly in the weeks after they go in. The company reviews those trade-offs during a free on-site measurement, confirming fence height, style, and placement so the choice fits both the property and the season before any material is ordered.

“The ground does not care what month it is, it cares whether your posts are set below the frost line,” said Jeremy Verhoef, owner of All Around Fence & Decks. “We build straight through the fall, and the families who call now are the ones whose fence is finished before the spring rush, not the ones waiting in line behind it.”
