"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!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Barbed wire fences provide cost-effective security, livestock containment, and property protection.

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.

For a chain link fence, the ideal distance between fence posts is 6 to 10 feet apart. Measure carefully to ensure even spacing, and resist the temptation to extend the distance more than 10 feet. Doing so could impact the stability of your fence.

Wood, vinyl, chain link, and aluminum are common materials. Choose based on durability, maintenance needs, and aesthetics.

Hedges are a better financial investment for a home than fences in several ways. First, hedges are less expensive to install than fences. Fence installation costs $1,775 to $4,600, depending on the type and size. You can also choose to plant smaller and less expensive hedges, knowing that it will take longer for them to mature. Next, mature hedges add resale value to the home, meaning the cost savings get even better when it's time to sell.
