Live fence recommendation for noise reduction

[Terri]

@Mike_Del

I know, it sounds really high, especially the quote does not even including texturing and painting the drywall patches when the blow in is done.

But I don’t have experience with this kind of job and don’t really know what would be a reasonable price? Thanks.

Call around and get 3-4 quotes. Choose the second lowest one but not the lowest.

Thanks @caiguycaiguy…more reason to reconsider the usual suspects around SFO like San Bruno, MillBrae and SSF…

Plant the evergreen bunch of trees along the fence, plant the Japanese cedars (Yoshinos) or Chinese bamboo to prevent the noise of the highway, it is fine, but very expensive and very difficult to maintain . There are less expensive solutions (see here highway noise barrier ) such as sound barriers or noise curtains.
