"

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

"We hired Stone Landscaping to remove a downed tree in our yard caused by the Iowa derecho. During removal several issues arose that the contractor was more than happy to address and correct. They also gave us s competitive price for tree removal that was more than fair."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your fence materials. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts.

The cheapest farm fences are typically wire fences, which cost less to install than traditional lumber fences. Barbed wire is one of the most inexpensive options due to its simple materials, making it a good choice for low budgets. It is suitable for confining docile animals in large spaces, as it provides a visual barrier and a mild deterrent. Other options like hog wire and woven wire fences are also cost-effective because they require less lumber than a full wooden fence. These types of wire fences are strong, long-lasting, and relatively easy to repair, though they are often considered less aesthetically pleasing than wood.

How long it takes to install a fence depends on the size of the fence; the longer the fence, the longer the install will take. That said, you can typically install a bamboo fence over a weekend for a reasonably sized yard. A team of fencing contractors can likely get your bamboo fence assembled in half a day to a day.

When your rolls of silt fence join together, you’ll want to overlap them to make sure they’re still as effective at keeping water out without requiring fastening together. Overlap two sections of the silt fencing so that two sheets of fabric cover the span of two posts. If you want to fasten them together, you can staple them or use a zip tie, depending on whether your posts are metal or wood. 

A board on board fence is a type of privacy fence that uses overlapping vertical boards to keep onlookers from seeing into the fenced yard. Typically made of wood, board on board fences are more expensive than other privacy fences because they use more materials and require more complex construction.
