"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!!!"

"Alex was prompt, professional and went above and beyond with my project. I could not be more pleased. It was a difficult area to put up a fence on as it is hilly and rocky and he spent a lot of time and effort into making it perfect. I would 100% recommend him for your fence job. Also, his price was very fair! A 5 star all the way around!!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect your pets from coyotes is to ensure they are always supervised when outside, especially during dawn and dusk when coyotes are the most active. When walking your dog, keep it on a short leash and carry something noisy you can use to haze any coyotes you may encounter.

Black chain-link fences last an average of 15 to 20 years. The thicker a fence's wire gauge, the longer it will tend to last. The black vinyl coating gives the fence rust and corrosion resistance, but its life span may be lower in wet, humid, or coastal climates where moisture or salty air can corrode the coating more quickly.

The lifespan of a fence can range from 5 to 50 years, depending heavily on the material, local climate, and how well it is maintained. For example, a wooden fence might last 7 to 15 years, while a vinyl fence typically lasts 20 to 30 years. Metal, composite, and glass fences have some of the longest lifespans. Proper maintenance, such as regular cleaning, inspections, and staining or sealing for wood, is key to extending the life of any fence material. Vinyl and composite are durable options that don't require sealing.

Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. 

When considering how much of a gap should be under a fence or gate, a good rule of thumb is to keep gaps between 2 and 5 inches tall. This allows for some ground clearance for the gate but still provides safety for children and pets, who shouldn’t be able to squeeze through a gap of that size.
