Trusted Wood and Vinyl Fencing in New Bedford, MA 2745 - A&A Fence & Landscape

The main culprits are salt air, high humidity, and winter storms. Salt accelerates rust on metal fences and rot in untreated wood. A&A combats this by recommending materials like aluminum (which won't rust) or vinyl (which resists moisture). For wood fences, we use pressure-treated lumber and apply protective sealants. We also ensure proper post-setting to avoid shifting from wet soil.

Look for leaning posts, cracked or splintered boards, rust spots on metal, loose gates, or gaps where fence panels meet. After a nor'easter, you might also notice damaged rails or missing sections. If the damage is minor, we can repair it; but if rot or rust has spread, replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run.

Many New Bedford yards have poor drainage that can undermine fence posts and cause erosion. We offer grading, French drains, and retaining walls to redirect water away from fences. By combining landscaping with fence installation, we create a cohesive solution that keeps your fence stable and your yard healthy—especially in low-lying areas near the Acushnet River.
