  • How do I maintain my fence?

    To maintain a vinyl fence, rinse the fence with a regular garden hose every three to five years to prevent mold from growing.


    To maintain a wood fence, you can stain or paint it every three to five years. If you choose not to stain or paint it, simply let it naturally gray out. This requires no maintenance at all and give your fence a more natural look.

  • How high does a fence need to be to keep deer out?

    We recommend installing at least a 6’ fence to keep out deer. Although, some deer have been known to jump a 6’ fence. We prefer to install 7’to 7 ½ ‘ tall fencing to ensure your yard is safe from deer.

    We are well-versed in the pool codes for all the local towns we serve. We have relationships with many regional building inspectors and will do the research based on your town to ensure that all codes are met prior to installing a pool fence.
