Get FeaturedFence Installation Cost in Des Moines
The cost of fencing in Des Moines depends primarily on the material, fence height, total linear footage, and site conditions. Wood privacy fencing is the most popular choice and runs $20–$35 per linear foot including posts, rails, pickets, and labor. Vinyl fencing costs more upfront at $25–$50 per linear foot but requires virtually no maintenance. Chain link starts around $10–$25 per linear foot. Ornamental aluminum and wrought iron range from $30–$75 per linear foot. Getting multiple estimates from Des Moines contractors helps you compare what's included.
What Affects Pricing
- Soil conditions: Rocky or clay-heavy soil requires more time and specialized equipment for post holes. Hard ground can double the labor time for post setting.
- Old fence removal: Demolishing and hauling away an existing fence adds $3–$5 per linear foot. Concrete footing removal adds additional labor and disposal cost.
- Gate quantity and type: Each gate adds cost. Simple walk gates start around $200–$500, while wide driveway gates or automated sliding gates can exceed $2,000–$5,000.
- Terrain and slope: Sloped, rocky, or uneven ground requires stepped or racked panels, additional grading, and more labor for proper post installation.
- Total linear footage: The total length of fencing is the biggest cost driver. Larger yards with more perimeter to fence cost proportionally more in materials and labor.
Cost estimates are general ranges. Request quotes from local contractors for accurate pricing.
