Please note: Drakes 7 Dees will install fences only within an overall landscape Design & Build plan. We do not install fences as a stand-alone service. Please see our Design & Build page for the full spectrum of what we do.
Fences are an important part of landscape design as a sort of frame for plants, grass, flower beds, and other features. They also stand out as the structure in your landscape that your neighbors will see most often. For these reasons, fences should be constructed to provide privacy and borders in a pleasing way that works not only with the rest of your landscape but with the style of your neighborhood.
Drake’s 7 Dees is passionate about Portland landscape design and installation. For our landscape designers, the form and function of your outdoor space is about more than appearance or making a financial investment – it’s about having a great time with the people in your life. Fences aren’t just to keep people out – they also keep people safe and allow for private moments. If you are looking to create just such a space on your property, contact us to get started today.

Kinds of Fence Material Used by Drake’s 7 Dees in Our Fence Design
- Wood can be used as the only material in a fence or to complement any of the other materials mentioned below
- Decorative iron offers a unique, distinguished look to any property, particularly when used in the front yard
- Brick is often used to make pillars which are bridged by wood or iron, though of course an elegant brick wall works as well as a fence
- Stone can be applied a veneer or used as a substitute for brick with a more natural appearance
- Chain link and wire can be used to make a modern, open-style fence solution

First
Site Analysis Meeting
A Design Associate from Drake’s 7 Dees will meet with you at your home to discuss your landscape goals. Based upon the extent of your landscape desires, the Design Associate will present a ‘Design Proposal’ that represents the number of ‘design hours’ required to produce a set of detailed Landscape Plans specific to your property.
Second
Conceptual Landscape Plan & Preliminary Budget Review
During a ‘working meeting’ at Drake’s 7 Dees office (or phone conference) the Designer will present a Conceptual Landscape Plan based on your input from the Site Analysis meeting. An illustrated ‘plan view’ of your property will be presented which incorporates your stated landscape goals. You will be able to see in concrete ways what your landscape is going to look like when we’re done. Construction material selections will also be discussed and chosen at this time. A ‘Statement of Values’ will provide preliminary construction costs for the various elements of the Landscape Plan. As a working meeting, this will be the time for your input to help us craft a plan for your home’s landscaping that meets both your aesthetic and budget objectives.
Third
Landscape Plan Presentation & Construction Proposal
A final Design Meeting will be scheduled with the Senior Designer to present the revised Landscape Plan and an itemized Construction Proposal for the installation of your new landscape. Modifications to the ‘scope of services’ presented in the Construction Proposal can be accomplished at this time. Your approval of the Landscape Plan and your Signature on the Construction Proposal will give Drake’s 7 Dees the ‘thumbs up’ to schedule the transformation of your landscape.
