Landscaping and outdoor construction in Robertsdale, AL
Robertsdale is inland Baldwin County and the ground is open farmland country: flat, sandy loam, and very little shade.
Open lots change the work in ways that are easy to underestimate. Fence lines are long, so linear feet drive the fence quote more than anything else does. There is no tree canopy to hold moisture, so a lawn that would coast through August under shade needs irrigation here to get through it. Sandy loam drains better than the clay across in Mobile County, which helps, but it also means water and nutrients move through it faster and beds dry out sooner. Wind is a real factor too, on gates, on young trees and on anything tall that has not been braced properly.
If you have a big open lot and want it to stop looking like a field, that is a conversation worth having on site.

For a lawn you want to stay green through a Gulf Coast summer, on an open lot with no shade, realistically yes. Without it you are hand-watering in August or accepting that the lawn browns off and comes back. We will say which zones actually need it rather than blanketing the whole property.
We need a long fence. What drives the price?
Linear feet and height first, then the number of gates, then the ground. A straight run across level ground is the cheapest fence there is. Slopes make it step, and posts hitting roots or hardpan slow it down.
Is the soil here different from Mobile?
Generally yes. Inland Baldwin tends toward sandy loam, which drains faster than the clay common around Mobile and Theodore. Good for drainage, less good for holding water and feed in beds, so bed prep and mulch depth matter more.
