I've been doing handyman, construction, carpentry work for 16 years now. Over that time I've learned how to do countless different jobs and overcome various different snags and setbacks. Efficiency and dedication drive me and I will work as much as needed to meet a deadline.

"We are having not only a wood privacy fence but also chainlink and several chainlink gates. We are also having our deck steps removed and reconstructed one foot over from their existing location as well as widened to 4â . The whole crew and office staff were very friendly and I would highly recommend this company to everyone!!"

"Stone Landscaping handled the repair of our fence in a very professional and timely manner. They came immediately to assess the damage, provided an estimate, and came within one week to repair the fence. This doesn't happen that often with contractors, landscapers, etc., especially during periods like the derecho we had in Iowa."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Concrete is one of the easiest, most cost-efficient, and most effective ways to stabilize a fence post. To stabilize a fence post with concrete, you’ll dig a hole around the post in question and fill it up with concrete—easy as that. Concrete lasts about 50 years on average, so it’s a long-term solution.

Glass has one of the longest lifespans of any fencing materials, lasting anywhere from 10 to 30 years on average. Just how long your glass fence lasts depends on several factors, including how well you maintain your fence, the climate, and the type of glass you use. 

If you live somewhere with severe weather like hail, tornadoes, or hurricanes, expect your glass to have a shorter lifespan. Pool glass is one of the thickest tempered glass materials and may last longer than other options—especially compared to laminated glass.

You can use soil and gravel instead of concrete when setting fence posts. However, concrete is more durable and longer lasting, so it's worth considering if you want your fence to withstand the test of time. You should especially consider concrete if you live in a region that experiences severe weather, which can damage your fence.

This depends mainly on how well the posts were installed and what type of wood was used to build the gate in the first place. Softwoods have a life expectancy of up to 15 years but can last slightly longer with regular maintenance and waterproofing treatments. By contrast, hardwoods can last up to 30 years with little care, so you may avoid costly replacements by spending a little more upfront.

When choosing wood for a fence, consider your budget and geographic region. The most popular and common types of wood are cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine. Cedar is a top choice due to its natural durability, resistance to rot and insects, and budget-friendly price. Redwood is another durable, tried-and-true option, though it is typically more expensive. Pressure-treated wood, such as pine, is also a widely used and popular alternative. These materials are readily available at most hardware stores, which makes future repairs and replacements easier. Their accessibility and long-lasting performance make them excellent choices for most fence installation projects.
