"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

A metal fence can last for over 30 years if maintained correctly, though the exact lifespan varies by material. For instance, chain-link and aluminum fences can function well for 25 to 30 years, while corrugated metal fences may last up to 60 years with regular maintenance. The lifespan can be shortened by harsh weather, abuse, or lower-quality materials. Galvanized metal tends to last longer due to its protective barrier, whereas sheet and corrugated metal may rust faster than solid pieces.

While wood fencing is versatile and durable, there are other fence material options to consider. Check out our comprehensive list of the Best Types of Fences for Your Home to browse through some other fencing materials. Popular types include metal fencing, such as aluminum and chain link, and wood alternatives, such as vinyl or composite fencing.

Both nails and screws are common in fence construction, including on pickets. Some builders prefer to use nails when connecting the pickets to the rails and screws when connecting the rails to the posts. However, the best option usually depends on the type of wood fencing and the variety of wood you choose.

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.

A fence installer or homeowner should place a snow fence upwind of the desired drift area, while keeping the prevailing wind direction in mind. When installing a snow fence, its posts should be sturdy, as they will be the weakest areas in terms of tensile strength. Posts should be buried at one-third their height and placed no more than eight feet apart.
