Wow, really? I was thinking we'd have to wait until spring because the ground is frozen. Did they charge any more?

Nope. They used a power auger to dig the holes if I remember correctly.

I don't know for sure, but we had to have our septic dug up last January and they had no problem with the ground freezing. So it's definitely a possiblity that they will still do it.
I know they said its best to do it in January vs. later in the winter because I believe there is a point where they will say just wait until spring.

I was told by Amendola's that if the ground is frozen, they don't do it.

Yes I was going to mention that. I saved a lot of money by doing it in January.

You save a TON of money doing it over the winter. They can't install while the ground is frozen but if its not, they're happy to do it!

Re: do they install fences in january and other winter months?
this is great to know if they do offer discounts... DH and I need a new fence badly but i'm afraid of the prices... does anyone have any recommendation of companies they used?

We had all our posts set in concrete. I think when you do it this way, that it has to be above a certain temp or the concrete will not set. I bet it depends on how you have it installed.

That's correct. Exactly what I would be concerned with, since I'd wonder if the signs of a bad concrete base wouldn't be noticeable until later.
We researched this when we set our arbor feet in concrete but I don't remember what the temp was. Certainly warmer than it is now though.

Yes. Liberty installed our fence end of February/early March when it was still cold.
