Get matched with top fencing pros in Lumberport, WV

Q: Can you build a fence on a setback?

• <div><p>A setback is an area of space between your fence and the property line, meaning you build a fence a few inches before your neighbor&rsquo;s property begins. You can build your fence on a setback&mdash;some communities recommend this&mdash;but this means a sliver of your property will be on your neighbor&rsquo;s side of your fence.</p></div>

Q: How high should a split rail fence be?

• <div><p>The standard height for a split rail fence is three or four feet. This height requires two to three horizontal rails, making it ideal for homeowners wanting a budget-friendly split rail fence. If you&rsquo;re hoping to contain agile livestock or animals like dogs, geese, or goats, you may prefer to install a six-foot tall fence with four or five rails or a four-foot-tall fence with three horizontal rails. This will help prevent animals from climbing, crawling, or jumping through the rails. </p></div>

Q: What type of wood fence lasts the longest?

• <div><p>Fences made out of redwood, cedar, or pressure-treated pine are the most durable. These materials can last anywhere between 15 to 40 years so long as they are properly maintained. Make sure to clean your fence regularly and pressure wash once a year. After pressure washing, apply a sealant and/or fresh paint to keep it looking fresh.</p></div>

Q: What attracts armadillos to your yard?

• <div><p>Armadillos are attracted to water, so a leaky irrigation system or an overwatered lawn can encourage them to move in. They especially like wet areas where they can burrow and loose soil where they can dig for grubs. They are also attracted to dense ground cover, where they can often find food sources.</p></div>

Q: Are silt fences effective?

• <div><p>Silt fences are very effective when installed correctly and used in proper locations. However, there are places where they don&rsquo;t work as well. This includes property with a concentrated water flow, where runoff could pool or cause a flooding hazard. You&rsquo;ll also want to use caution when installing in areas susceptible to landslides. Your contractor will follow state guidelines and know when an alternate solution is more effective.</p></div>

My grass was really high and he tackled the job no problem. He was polite and professional. My yard looks fantastic. It impressed my neighbor across the street how great it looked - the best in the 4 years I have lived there - that he asked for a business card. I definitely recommend!
