"Northstars Fence did a great job on a fence for us. Their crew removed the old fencing and installed about 160 feet of 6 foot wood fence in our back yard. The job was done perfectly in one day and we couldn't be happier. And their cost was by far the lowest bid."
"I hired them to install a fence to match my neighbors existing fence. The existing fence was installed by a company called Clover. The attention to detail and perfection exhibited by Nimmer Co out shines the other company by miles. They took great care not to destroy my grass by placing plywood down as they drive their equipment around. I wish I could post comparison photos but the dumb site only allows for 5mb worth of pictures. So here is one showing how straight the fence is. Look how perfectly in line that is."
"We hired Deandre and his crew for our fence project. He tore down the old fence and hauled away. They then installed a cedar fence along our property line. Communication was great. The job was done promptly, and efficiently. Looks great at a fair price. Will be calling him again."
"This was a very positive experience hiring Milwaukee Exteriors. From beginning to end, I found their service and professionalism to be the best of the best! The fence they installed is perfect, detailed, built to last, and beautiful. The crew was on the job and never stopped until the job was done. The foreman was polite and told me what to expect, as well as walked me around when the job was done for my approval. I would highly recommend Milwaukee Exteriors for any future projects!!"
"I have had Oasis here on several occasions- hauling away yard waste,edging gardens, spring/fall cleanup, tree trimming/thinning/ removal. They are professional, efficient and knowledgeable about their work. Their prices are reasonable. The crew was friendly and hardworking. I will definitely continue to hire them for all yard work."
"Ricco and Luis worked well with us. They listened to what we wanted and delivered a beautiful deck. They are very meticulous in their work and it shows in the finished project. We will definitely use them for future work."
"The work that this team did was amazing. My storm damaged fence was rebuilt, cleaned and re-stained in a short amout of time. I am 100% happy with this whole crew"
You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.

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.
You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.
Green branches are more flexible and easier to work with, but they'll shrink as they dry, which can loosen your fence weave over time—so you'll need to weave them extra tight to account for shrinkage. Some species, particularly willow, may also try to sprout when used green. For these reasons, it’s typically easiest to use branches that have dried for a week or two.
