"J.E. Landscaping was phenomenal! Our gardens were literally overgrown with weeds we couldn t keep up with them. J.E. Came out in 3 hours they cleared the front and back garden areas, put new weed tarp in and brand new mulch in! Our yard looks amazing!! We are so happy with their work! I have already given 2 of my neighbors business cards for this company since they too were so impressed. If you need landscaping done, I highly recommend this company!"

"America's Backyard replaced part of our wood fence with their white vinyl fencing and it's beautiful! Made our landscaping look great. We loved it so well we called them back out to install the rest of our yard against our neighbor's fence."

"I needed a privacy fence removed and a brand new one installed, as the one I had installed six months earlier was already coming down. The owners and crew of Tailored Timber were excellent, and I could not recommend them more highly. They were professional, knowledgeable, timely, and very affordable. They removed the existing fence and installed a new one with new materials in 2 1/2 days (despite temperatures being in the 90s). Their craftsmanship and attention to detail are exceptional!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Common mistakes in Chesterton include setting fence posts too shallow for the local frost line, neglecting to address drainage in clay soil, and using untreated materials that can’t withstand humidity and salt exposure. Rushing concrete curing during unpredictable spring weather, skipping utility marking, or failing to clarify property lines with neighbors can all lead to costly fence repair or disputes.

Helpful?

Watch for posts that start to lean, sagging sections, or rust forming on hardware—these often signal underlying problems with frost heave or moisture in Chesterton. Gates that stick or drag may indicate shifting ground. Early signs like cracked boards or loose fasteners can quickly worsen due to the area’s freeze-thaw cycles and exposure to road salt, so prompt fence repair is key.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Chesterton often underestimate how clay soil impacts fence installation, requiring deeper posts and gravel for drainage. Permit approval can take several weeks, and the busy installation season fills up fast due to winter ground freeze. Overlooking property surveys, utility line marking, and how new fencing may alter yard drainage are frequent oversights that can delay fence projects.

Helpful?

In Chesterton, fence installation requires posts set below the 36-42 inch frost line to prevent shifting from freeze-thaw cycles. Skimping on drainage solutions in heavy clay soil can cause water pooling and early rot. Using untreated wood or low-grade hardware near Lake Michigan’s humid, salty air accelerates deterioration. Proper gate alignment and sturdy latches are also essential to withstand local wind gusts.

Helpful?

For fencing projects in Chesterton, address urgent issues like storm damage, leaning posts, or broken panels right away—especially if safety or property boundaries are at risk. Minor cosmetic repairs or fence staining can often wait until late winter or early spring, when the ground thaws and contractor schedules open up. Prioritize repairs that prevent further weather damage or neighborhood disputes.
