Custom fences typically cost 20 to 50 percent more than comparable standard installations, depending on the complexity of the design, materials used, and site conditions. A simple custom height transition or decorative top on an otherwise standard fence may add only a modest premium. A fully custom mixed-material design with specialty gates and complex terrain work will cost more due to the additional fabrication time and specialized hardware required. Delta Fence provides detailed written quotes that break down every cost component so you know exactly what you are paying for. Call (501) 626-7024 for a free custom fence consultation and quote.

Custom fence projects typically take two to four weeks from the initial design consultation to completed installation. The timeline depends on the complexity of the design, material sourcing requirements, and the length of the fence line. A straightforward custom height transition may be completed in a week, while a fully custom mixed-material fence with specialty gates and decorative elements may take three to four weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during the design consultation so you know exactly when to expect each phase — design approval, material procurement, fabrication, and installation.

Absolutely — that is one of the primary reasons property owners choose custom fencing. Whether your home is a Craftsman bungalow, a modern farmhouse, a mid-century ranch, or a traditional Colonial, Delta Fence can design a fence that complements your home’s specific architectural details. We coordinate material choices, colors, and design elements with your existing trim, siding, stone, and landscaping. During the design consultation, we photograph your home’s key architectural features and use them as reference points for the fence design. The goal is a fence that looks like it was part of the original construction, not an afterthought bolted onto the property line.

Difficult terrain is one of the most common reasons property owners need custom fencing. Standard fence panels are designed for flat ground and do not adapt well to steep grades, rocky outcroppings, or irregular lot shapes. Delta Fence custom-engineers each fence section to follow your property’s natural contours using stepped panels, racked panels, or custom-cut sections that maintain a consistent appearance while adapting to grade changes. We have experience installing fences on hillside properties, around mature trees with extensive root systems, and across terrain that other fence companies simply refuse to tackle. Bring us your challenging property — it is what we do best.

Yes, mixed-material fencing is one of our most popular custom options. Combining wood and metal allows you to leverage the strengths of each material — steel or aluminum posts provide superior structural support and longevity, while wood panels deliver the warmth, privacy, and natural aesthetic that metal alone cannot achieve. Common combinations include steel posts with cedar panels, iron accent sections within a wood privacy fence, and metal framework with horizontal wood slats. We use specialized hardware and attachment methods designed for mixed-material connections that account for different expansion rates and weight distributions between materials.

Yes. Every custom fence project includes a detailed design phase where we sketch the layout, specify materials, note dimensions, and identify any special construction requirements. You approve the design before any materials are ordered or construction begins. For complex projects, we provide annotated site plans showing fence placement, gate locations, height transitions, and material specifications. Changes can be made during the design phase at no cost — it is much easier to adjust a drawing than to modify a built fence. This collaborative design process ensures the finished product matches your vision exactly, with no surprises on installation day.
