"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."

"I commissioned a custom cutting board through Josh took the time to reach out to me to ensure I got the cutting board I wanted. He was upfront with the build time and cost. It arrived earlier than expected. When I opened the package I could tell that this wasn't your average cutting board. This is an heirloom quality piece that will last longer than me. My kids will have to fight over who gets this incredible piece of art. If you are a foodie or like to cook, his cutting boards will serve you well. I can't thank Josh enough for tha attention to detail in his work and the amazing communication. Thank you Josh, looking forward to working with you again!!!"

"Great experience!! From the estimate to completion Jonathan and his group were amazing. I have an oddly shaped sloped yard and he was able to build me a fence that looks even all the way around and was everything that I wanted. He took the time needed to explain everything to me and then went through and made sure everything was perfect and to my liking before leaving. Overall it was an amazing job and they were amazing to work with, I would definitely recommend to everyone and already have to some folks. I have already spoken to them about two more projects that I would like to have done. If you're looking to have the fence built that you personally want talk to Jonathan and he can help you out."

"Very professional, guarantees his work, clean up his mess and cuts the fence too size and carries it to the road so it can be picked up. I would recommend Rob The Builder LLC for anyone needing any kind of fence, deck, & anything made with wood he can build it."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

You can use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence, but you’ll need to purchase a thicker and higher-quality variety to ensure it doesn’t sag or warp after you install it. Use #2 pine grade lumber and boards and thicker dimensional lumber, such as a two-by-six. You’ll also need to use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, as the chemicals in the treated lumber will cause regular galvanized fasteners to rust. 

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.

To choose where to add a fence gate, know where fence gates shouldn’t go. For example, you should avoid placing gates over low spots on the ground where water can collect and form muddy puddles. Many ranchers install gates at the corner of a fence. Certain gate placements may also be required depending on the type of gate latch you use.

How long a wood fence lasts depends on the type of wood and its style. The design of a shadow box fence makes it more durable than other fence types because the alternating pickets disperse the weight across the rails. As a result, you won’t have to worry as much about sagging or failing pickets. However, remember that the hollow design of a shadow box fence makes it more difficult to apply the sealer, which is crucial to extending its life.

Fences made out of redwood, cedar, or pressure-treated pine are the most durable. These materials can last anywhere between 15 to 40 years so long as they are properly maintained. Make sure to clean your fence regularly and pressure wash once a year. After pressure washing, apply a sealant and/or fresh paint to keep it looking fresh.
