"Harris Lawn and Tree Maintenance is a company that is efficient and productive. The company is reliable and timely. I am highly pleased with the work Mr. Harris provided. For those who are looking for outdoor tool sheds to be removed, this company is the one to contact. I not only had my shed demolished and removed but also had my privacy fence mended and secured for a price I couldn t find anywhere else."

"Alex repaired 100â of 48 inch black chain link fence that was severely leaning and installed 120â of new 48â black chain link fence and two gates in some fairly wooded and uneven terrain. He did a great job, cleaned up, and showed up when he said he would. Fence looks great and is very sturdy with all posts set in concrete. Heâ s customer focused and very friendly. Good value for the price - we will definitely use him for another fence project in the future."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

While they can be closer, the maximum distance between fence posts for residential fences is 8 feet. This ensures the panels are adequately supported by the fence posts. This is usually dictated by the width of the panel, which is typically between 5 and 8 feet. While narrower panels will require more posts, they’ll be lighter and easier to work with than wider panels that are the same height.

Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first. 

The best wood for a farm fence is pressure-treated wood that will stand up to various weather conditions, animal contact, and moisture. Farm fences need to resist rot and damage, so choose a species such as cedar or redwood. The natural oils in these woods give them decay resistance, which also makes them ideal for other fence types, such as a wooden snow fence.

Vinyl or PVC fences offer low-maintenance features, weather resistance, and diverse style options, ideal for security and privacy without extensive upkeep.

A fence post set in concrete lasts anywhere from five to over 25 years, depending on how well the concrete was applied and the fence post’s material. Untreated wood posts in concrete could last less than 10 years, but a durable, treated wood set in properly applied concrete could last a few decades. However, all fence posts will wear out eventually, so expect to need to replace your fence post every five to 15 years.
