Q: Is it easier to edge wet or dry?

• <div><p>A dry lawn is easier to edge than a wet one. When your ground is wet, your blades will likely clump together, making a seemingly even cut while wet, but an uneven disaster when dried. Also, a wet lawn can impact your blade's performance and cause mud to kick up, resulting in a messy finish.</p></div>

Q: Will paint stick to vinyl fencing?

• <div><p>If you paint a vinyl fence, it will likely stick to it for only a brief amount of time. This is because vinyl is not a porous material, so it's not an ideal surface for holding paint. Initially, paint will stick to your fence, but it will eventually peel off. Applying primer before painting your vinyl fence will help paint last longer. Certain primers are well-suited to vinyl, which means <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-paint-vinyl-siding.htm">you can paint vinyl siding</a> with the proper preparation.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is recommended after fence repair?

• <div><p>Routine staining or sealing and periodic inspections to extend life.</p></div>

Q: How long does stain last?

• <div><p>A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.</p></div>
