Wes is a very hardworking individual. I was a little skeptical at first because the amount of work I was asking him to do seemed quite daunting to me, and the price was very reasonable. He more than exceeded my expectations. I had him remove several bushes and rock from the beds around the perimeter of my house. He also added new rock for me. It looks wonderful. I know he's super busy so he would show up when he could which is fine as I wasn't in a hurry at all, but when he was there he worked incredibly hard. I would hire him again in a heart beat. He's a really honest, hardworking person. I wish him all the best!

Thank you,







Chris Wilson

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Available customizations include color choices, textures, gate additions, and decorative toppers to fit various design preferences.

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.

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.

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. 

A barbed wire fence will last an average of 15 to 20 years, but the life expectancy can range anywhere between five and 50 years. Thicker wires last longer, as do fences made with galvanized metal. If the barbed wire fence is in a climate with harsh winters and summers, it likely won’t last more than 10 to 15 years. Failing to keep up with maintenance and repairs will also shorten the lifespan of a barbed wire fence.
