"My husband and I are very pleased with our new fence and custom-built gates courtesy of Bergin Property Management. From our initial meeting through the end of the project, Frank and the entire team were professional and courteous. The onsite crew was terrific - on time and respectful of our property. They cleaned up the back yard and made sure we were happy with the end result. Frank called the next day to "thank us for our business!" When was the last time someone did that? I would highly recommend Bergin Property Management, and we plan on using them again."

"We had a great experience with Augustus Landscaping & Design! They removed our old wood deck and replaced it with a beautiful Trex deck, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. They were professional, hardworking, and clearly took pride in their work. They showed up on time, communicated well throughout the project, and made sure everything was done right. The deck looks beautiful!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

You can use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence, but you’ll need to purchase a thicker and higher-quality variety to ensure it doesn’t sag or warp after you install it. Use #2 pine grade lumber and boards and thicker dimensional lumber, such as a two-by-six. You’ll also need to use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, as the chemicals in the treated lumber will cause regular galvanized fasteners to rust. 

You can use soil and gravel instead of concrete when setting fence posts. However, concrete is more durable and longer lasting, so it's worth considering if you want your fence to withstand the test of time. You should especially consider concrete if you live in a region that experiences severe weather, which can damage your fence.

While there’s no hard evidence to support this idea, driveway gates at least provide an additional obstacle that may deter crime. After all, a would-be burglar or trespasser would have to break into the gate and the property itself. The extra work could encourage them to move onto a house without a driveway gate.

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.

The most common hog wire gauge for a fence is 12.5. However, you can choose from a few gauges based on your needs. While 12.5 is a reliable gauge for penning in large, strong animals, 9 gauge is a better option of you have large animals that are easily spooked, such as horses. For smaller animals, like dogs or pigs, you can use a 16 gauge hog wire.
