A fence proposal that lists materials, post spacing, and gate details wins over a one-line "$4,500 for a fence" estimate. Here's what to include so the client knows exactly what they're getting.
Fence type (privacy, picket, chain link, ornamental), total linear feet, number of gates, property address. Note any HOA requirements, property line considerations, or terrain challenges (slopes, trees, utilities).
Post material and size (4x4 cedar, steel), rail size and count, picket/panel style and material, concrete for posts (bags per post), gate hardware (hinges, latches, closers). Specify grade and treatment (pressure-treated, cedar, vinyl, composite).
Old fence removal (if applicable), post hole digging (depth, diameter), post setting in concrete, rail installation, picket/panel installation, gate hanging and adjustment, cleanup. Note call-before-you-dig (811) compliance.
Line items: materials per linear foot, labor per linear foot, gates (each, by size), old fence removal, post caps (each), stain/seal (if included). Show total. Many contractors price by linear foot — break it out so the client can see the math.
Typical residential fence (150-200 ft): 2-4 days. Note: utility locate takes 2-3 business days, permits may add 1-2 weeks. Weather contingency clause.
Workmanship warranty, material manufacturer warranty, recommended maintenance (annual sealing for wood, cleaning for vinyl). Fence is a 15-20 year investment — clients want assurance.

Solid Ground Fence Co. is pleased to present this proposal for a new 6-foot cedar privacy fence enclosing the Kowalski backyard. This project includes removal of the existing chain-link fence, installation of 150 linear feet of premium cedar fencing with two gates, and a protective cedar-tone stain for long-lasting beauty.
We will begin by removing and hauling away the existing 4-foot chain-link fence and posts along the full 150-linear-foot perimeter. All post holes from the old fence will be filled and graded level.
The new fence will be constructed using premium 6-foot dog-ear cedar pickets mounted on pressure-treated 4x4 posts set in concrete at 8-foot intervals. Horizontal 2x4 pressure-treated rails (top, middle, and bottom) will provide exceptional rigidity and wind resistance. All hardware will be stainless steel to prevent rust staining.
Two 4-foot-wide walk gates will be installed — one at the side yard and one at the rear — each with heavy-duty self-closing hinges and a thumb latch. Gate frames are built with anti-sag hardware to ensure smooth operation for years.
Upon completion, the entire fence will receive one coat of semi-transparent cedar-tone stain to protect against UV damage and moisture, enhancing the natural grain of the cedar.
