4 Tips for Getting the Most From Your New Fence

April 10, 2026

Plan the layout before you commit. Walk the line with your installer and talk through gate placement, mower access, and where you will want to bring equipment through. Moving a gate later is far more work than placing it correctly the first time.

Keep the base clear. Mulch, leaves, and soil piled against a wood fence hold moisture against the boards. A few inches of clearance makes a real difference over time.

Stay ahead of the vegetation. Trim branches that shed water onto the top of a fence and keep climbing plants under control unless the fence was designed to carry them.

Handle small repairs early. A loose hinge, a shifted post, or a cracked picket is a quick fix now and a larger project later. Give us a call if something needs attention.
