A small addition that can bring the biggest smile to your faces 🥰

A back to school throwback as you and your families send your kids and loved ones back to school this fall! 🍎🚌✏️

I often think of my dad in the “harder” moments of running this business. (There’s a reason I put “What would Doug do?” on a t-shirt after all 🤣 )

How would he approach this conversation with a customer?

What funny (likely slightly sarcastic) comment would he make in an otherwise contentious moment?

What classic Doug-ism would he interweave?

I wish he was still here so I could get in his brain, or engage in banter no one else would understand but him. He told all of us —me, my mom, his crews, and his family— “you don’t want to wake up and be Doug.”

We ALL laugh about it. But sometimes, it’s true!

There are so many benefits to running FBD, and being a small, family business with such hands-on owner involvement. But those same rewarding benefits can also make you question your sanity in the harder moments that inevitably arise.

At every decision I make, and every conversation I approach, I hope you know I always think of my dad🫶🏻

What WOULD Doug do?

Stopped by a recently completed fence project in River Hill this weekend and noticed this fluffy boy enjoying his new backyard!

Of course I had to take a few minutes to play with Jasper, the sweetest most energetic boy, in his new FBD paddock fence 🥰🐾

This 5-board estate style fence is already looking picture perfect, but I can’t wait to see it once the leaves change color! 🍂🎃

Shoutout to John and Tim for another gorgeous FBD fence 😍

Some aerial footage of Wilson and his crew from their latest paddock job. 😍

It’s always fun to see these guys in action, but I love the change in perspective— especially for a job so large! This one was close to 650 feet. More photos to come soon ‼️

We stopped by one of our vendors yesterday and of course brought along our plaque from Baltimore Sun!

“Best Fence Installation Company of 2026” isn’t a title we take lightly, and wouldn’t be possible without the people who help make it happen behind the scenes.

From our sales rep who provides the initial material quote for our estimates, to scheduling our deliveries and ensuring the materials get there when (and where!) they’re needed, to helping select wood from the yard. Each person helps make that happen and helps us do what we do best. 🫶🏻

Shoutout to Decks & Docks in Baltimore for always taking such good care of Fences By Doug! 🏆

Texts we love waking up to! 😍

I have been working with this customer on his new fence since early June. From an odd-shaped yard to HOA struggles, it was a challenge to get here, but his fence is finally complete and now his pups can roam free 🐶🐾

This week we updated this Ellicott City family’s dated and weathered split rail fence

It’s amazing how a simple fence refresh can transform your backyard. Now, their dog, Bruce, and their daughters can explore and play safely 😍

This week’s throwback is of my dad and John. This was from when they drove to Buffalo, NY to build my cousin’s fence 😃

Many of you have met John over the years, and if you’ve been working with us this year, you’ve seen much more of him!

It’s not often you can say, “This is the man who helped build your original fence.” And it’s something we cherish 🩷

Always heartwarming to find some of my dad’s old hidden gems in the community. The 800 number (and disintegrating pickets) are a giveaway!!
