"Toby and his crew were extremely efficient at installing our new fence. Not only did they do a beautiful job, but they offered great recommendations on how best to layout our fence in accordance with our lot. The entire crew was so extremely professional and accommodating, taking extra consideration for the fact that we had dogs who were having their backyard playground intruded upon :) They were so polite and considerate. I felt very comfortable having them at my home. Toby kept my husband and I updated as the project progressed and he delivered a product over and about our expectations."

"After our chimney area developed a leak, I had a chimney specialist inspect the chimney chase cover and caps which were ok. He concluded the leak was from the roofing around the chimney and recommended Merv for this type of repair as it requires expert technique and experience to fix a leak of this nature. Merv and his crew were fantastic, arrived on time, worked hard, and made a high-quality repair. Clean-up was pristine. Merv is very easy to work with, returns calls or texts, and explains things very well. He has earned my trust! Merv (MSW Construction LLC) will definitely be my first choice for future projects and/or repairs - I highly recommend them."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Yes, fence posts need to be installed below the frost line to ensure stability and prevent heaving caused by freezing and thawing cycles. The frost line is the depth at which soil freezes during winter. By placing posts below this line, often around 3 to 4 feet deep or as recommended for your specific region, you reduce the risk of the ground shifting, which can lead to leaning or unstable fences. Adequate depth provides better anchoring and helps maintain the fence's integrity, ensuring it remains secure and upright throughout changing seasons.

The best type of temporary fencing depends on its intended purpose. For example, if you need it for added security, to ensure the safety of children and animals, or to keep pests out of a garden, the ideal material will differ. For simply warning people away from a construction project, plastic orange fencing may be sufficient. Barricade fencing is a good choice for blocking off small areas. If you need to protect an area from trespassing, theft, or vandalism, more robust security fencing is necessary. Once you understand the primary function, you can select the most durable and cost-effective material for your specific project and yard size.

Silt fences are very effective when installed correctly and used in proper locations. However, there are places where they don’t work as well. This includes property with a concentrated water flow, where runoff could pool or cause a flooding hazard. You’ll also want to use caution when installing in areas susceptible to landslides. Your contractor will follow state guidelines and know when an alternate solution is more effective.

Most people prefer to keep the fence level by “stepping” the fence when running a horizontal fence over a slope. Stepping involves raising each panel between the posts as the fence moves over changes in slope, giving the fence line the appearance of stair steps. While this may be the preferred method of running a horizontal fence up a slope, there’s nothing wrong with installing your fence so it follows the undulations in the ground instead.

Yes, installing a picket fence is a manageable DIY project for homeowners with basic tools and some patience. The process involves marking the fence line, digging post holes, setting the posts, and attaching horizontal rails and pickets. However, precision is key to ensure the fence is straight and sturdy, which can be challenging for beginners. If the fence line is long, the ground is uneven, or you’re working with more complex materials like metal or composite, hiring a pro may be a better option.
