"Austin and Rein Landscaping LLC took over from another "landscaping" company I previously had. Rein was a great improvement over the other outfit. His is a young company, yet they are knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. Austin has been a good listener and has carefully followed the few concerns I had regarding my Hostas and the poison ivy growing along our fence (He eradicated the poison ivy without killing nearby vegetation.). Rein is conscientious and efficient. I highly recommend this couteous young man and his top-notch company."

"Do not go to this ?company? for a fence. This is the worst experience I have ever had. First of all the gate is ginormous. And they put 2 hinges on it thinking that would support the weight? I had this done in February and within a month I can not close the gate because it drags on the ground. I told Alton, the owner I guess, that the gate was too big and he blamed ME. He said I did not request a smaller gate. Last time I looked I was not a gate expert. The fence itself, within 2 weeks the boards started warping, see pics. After I complained he said he would come fix it because ?I am nice?. No, it is because he did not put a 4X4 along the bottom of the fence to tack it down so it would not warp. And, he never came back. Said he would come back and never did. Now I have to pay another guy to fix the fence. Alton said he would do it without labor costs, now I have to pay someone else. He is rude, condescending and has no skill to do this kind of work. Hire at your own risk. "

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts
A cedar fence will actually last quite a long time even if you don’t treat it with stain. In fact, you can expect to get between 15 and 30 years out of an untreated cedar fence. However, if you want to preserve its color and extend its life, treat it with a combination stain and sealer every three to five years.
Pressure-treated wood can not only be painted and stained, but it should be; doing so will help to prevent surface or deck board cracking. Allow the wood to dry out before painting it, as pressure-treated wood from the hardware store takes longer to dry than kiln-dried lumber. If water beads on the surface, it needs additional time to dry—in fact, it can take weeks or even months to fully dry. As soon as the wood absorbs water on the surface, it is ready to be painted or stained.
Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:
Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted
Scraping away loose paint
Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris
Caulking gaps and openings
Priming with a quality paint primer
Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish
Adding a second coat
Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths
You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.
Just like how acrylic paint is one of the best options for full sun exposure, it is also the winner when it comes to the best paint types for homes that experience extreme heat. Again, you'll want to choose neutral, lighter-colored paints for the best results. These paint colors stand the best chance against scorching summer heat.
