In Macon, GA, Ergeon fence projects average about 5 weeks from quote approval to completion. On a clear lot, crews install about 60 linear feet per day, so a 100-foot run is usually 1 to 2 days on site and a 200-foot run is about 3 to 4 days. Clay soil, summer storms, extra gates, and long vinyl privacy runs toward Lizella are what stretch the calendar more than the material brand.
Ergeon's Macon city FAQ lists about 5 weeks as the average from approved quote to finished fence. Marketing on that page also frames many jobs as complete within about 3 weeks once the install date is locked. Use 5 weeks as the planning window from approval to done, and treat on-site crew days as a shorter slice of that calendar.
Posts go in concrete, and framing can often start the same day. Avoid leaning on new posts during the about-30-day cure window. For how materials hold up after install, see Ergeon's what fence lasts longest guide. For a wood-versus-vinyl breakdown, see vinyl vs wood fence.
Central Georgia clay, summer thunderstorms, and tight side-yard access add time. Dense vegetation, steep slopes, rocky soil, and extra gates also slow crews. A large vinyl privacy perimeter takes more on-site days than a short wood repair at the same 60-feet-per-day pace.
Build a weather buffer into spring and late-summer quotes. Confirm haul-away and neighbor access on the video walkthrough so the crew is not blocked on day one.

A certified survey often runs $1,000 to $3,000, and you usually do not need that level unless the city specifically asks for a certified or stamped drawing. Ergeon can generate a permit-ready, GIS-based site plan in about 15 minutes for $29, using the same tool it relies on for its own permit filings.
