    Fence installation
    $7,000

    We had America's Backyard install a fence, during installation the workers hit several underground sprinkler lines. We attempted to contact them several times. Chris in the office was extremely rude stating they're not responsible for damage that occurs during installation. We tried to get them to fix the damage and they refuse. just be aware, this company will not stand behind its workmanship.
