Ives Fence LLC builds deer and dog fences, by its own site's account, and it carries a 5-star Google rating from 42 ratings. The company says it meets customers at their property to assess each project and that it has been in business 20 years; its site lists a service area that includes Litchfield, Fairfield and Middlesex along with towns from Salisbury to Greenwich and Old Lyme. A 2026 customer said Ives Fence installed a deer fence around a large in-ground pool to keep deer from destroying the pool cover. A 2026 customer said a fence went in around a pond with 2 gates and the install was completed fast. A 2026 customer whose dog, Clover, kept escaping said the team checked every section of the fence and installed extensions that reach down to the ground, curve inward and are secured with stakes. A 2026 customer said a tree damaged part of a newly installed fence, an installer replaced that area the next morning, and Josh charged nothing. A 2026 customer said the company owner, Josh, walked through the project with them and his crew on the first day. A 2026 customer said Josh and his team removed and reinstalled portions of a fence around the perimeter of a 5 acre property twice daily during a wedding weekend. The work reaches past Connecticut. A 2026 customer said Josh, Carl and the team made the long trip from Connecticut to Boston for the planning and the installation. A 2024 customer in northeastern Massachusetts said their deer fence took over 300 feet of fence and four gates, and three days to install. In a 2023 review written for the Kelsey Arboretum in Boxford, MA, the reviewer described deer fence repair, an extension and a new gate that were completed ahead of schedule. A 2022 customer said Josh and two workers replaced a vegetable-garden fence that porcupines had bitten through, stabilized old cedar posts, added a new gate and took the old fence away. A 2022 customer said the quote was 3,000 less than others. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0705257, is active on the state registry, held by IVES FENCE LLC.
Ives Fence LLC was wonderful to deal with! Their preliminary upfront work to develop their proposal, Once agreed upon, they arrived when they said they would and fulfilled the work like we agreed to. Highly recommend Ives Fence!!!
Great job. Installed the fence around the pond with 2 gates. Completed the install fast and it looks great.
Ives Fence installed a deer fence around our large in ground pool to keep the deer from destroying our pool cover. They did a great job. From the initial site visit estimate by Carl to the final installation it was done professionally and quickly. Ives Fence has me as a customer for life.
I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the work your team did to secure my fence and keep Clover from escaping. I had previously paid another fence company about the same amount to address this problem, but the difference in the thoroughness and quality of the work was substantial. Their crew left gaps in areas where bushes made access difficult, and those gaps were exactly how Clover eventually got out. Your team took a much more thorough approach. They checked every section of the fence, including the hard-to-reach areas, and pushed against it to identify places that needed reinforcement. The extensions they installed reach down to the ground, curve inward, and are secured with stakes. The result looks and feels considerably more secure. I also appreciated that the attention to detail wasn’t limited to the person who came out for the initial inspection. The crew who performed the work took the same care. They understood the actual goal, making sure Clover couldn’t get through or under the fence rather than simply completing a list of tasks without checking whether the problem had been solved. Clover hasn’t escaped since the work was completed. It’s still early, so time will be the ultimate test, but I have much more confidence in this repair. For essentially the same price as the previous company, your team delivered a noticeably better and more thoughtful job. Thank you.
My dog and I both love this play area. She is secure, can't go under or over. The fence is non obtrusive in the yard and we have a large gate so we can mow. Within 2 weeks of contact my fence was in in a day and one half. 2026 I recently enlarged the dog fence. Dog.loves it and.has more room for zoomies. Great service and a great job!
