Backyard Woods & Outdoor Services - Oak Lawn's Trusted Fencing Company

In Oak Lawn, moisture buildup in standard gate hinges and latches can freeze when temperatures drop, making them difficult or impossible to operate. The solution involves replacing your existing hardware with stainless steel or brass components that have built-in drainage channels. We also apply a silicone-based lubricant that won't gum up in cold weather, ensuring your gate functions smoothly all winter long.

Leaning posts are often caused by our area's heavy clay soil, which expands and contracts with moisture changes, loosening the concrete base. While a single leaning post can be an eyesore, if left untreated, it can pull adjacent panels out of alignment or cause the entire fence to sag. Our team addresses this by digging out the post, adding gravel for drainage, and re-setting it with a wider concrete base to prevent future shifting.

Absolutely. Overhanging limbs, especially from large oak or maple trees common in Oak Lawn, can scrape, dent, or break fence panels during storms. We provide professional pruning to remove dead or weak branches that pose a risk. For trees with heavy limbs near your fence line, we recommend a safety trim at least once every two years to protect both your fence and your property.
