"I hired Down South Landscaping & Maintenance to do a "fall clean up" of my recently purchased property, which had not been properly maintained for a number of years. Michael Austin of Down South was one of the first to respond to my post on Angi. As requested, he promptly provided a detailed estimate for cleaning the yard and beds including, application of preemergent weed control. I also obtained and accepted Down South's remarkably reasonable estimate to trim all the bushes. Michael kept me informed about his schedule and arrived promptly on the morning we had targeted to begin the work. Michael worked side by side with his crew to complete the project within budget, and ahead of plan. More important, the quality of his work was outstanding. The lawn, beds, bushes, and previously untended "woods" look spectacular. I couldn't be happier--- so happy, that after receiving very reasonable written estimates, I have chosen Down South to handle my landscape maintenance including mowing, semi-annual clean-ups, gutters, and snow plowing as needed. ⁹"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again. 

Yes, fence posts should be set in concrete to provide the proper support for the fence. If you notice your fence posts leaning, you’ll need to learn how to brace a fence post to fix the problem and prevent further damage from occurring. By bracing a fence post properly, you’ll provide stability and sturdiness to your fence for years to come.

You’ll need to bury the garden fence about 1 foot underground. It’s tempting to save on materials by burying the fence just a couple of inches, but if you do so, determined pests will still be able to dig under the fence and access your plants. Burying your garden fence deep into the soil is an important step that allows you to attach a wire barrier to the fencing. 

Burrowing animals (like voles, moles, rabbits, and gophers) can’t dig or chew through this wiring, meaning that you’ll be keeping your prized petunias or your robust veggie garden from being eaten.

The most common type of metal fence today is one made of either steel or aluminum. These materials are relatively easy to fabricate, making them much more cost-effective than traditional metal fencing handmade from wrought iron. They’re also much lighter and easier to install, contributing to their affordability and making them more DIY-friendly.

The ideal spacing for four-by-four residential fence posts is usually about 6 to 8 feet between posts. However, if the fence is particularly high or you live in a very windy region, you might want to space them closer together for better stability. A fence pro can help you decide on your post spacing.
