Experienced Residential Fencing in Wichita Falls, TX 76301 - BDE Landscape

The main cause is prolonged exposure to intense Texas sun. UV rays break down the wood's natural pigments and any stains, causing fading and a gray, weathered look. In Wichita Falls, this is especially common on south- and west-facing fences. BDE Landscape can help by planting or pruning shade trees to reduce direct sunlight on your fence, and by recommending maintenance schedules that include sealing or staining appropriate for our local climate.

Look for rust spots, discoloration, or flaking of the galvanized coating. Chain link corrosion often starts near the ground or where the fence touches damp soil or metal posts. In Wichita Falls, salty water from irrigation or winter de-icing can speed this up. If you see orange streaks or weakened links, it's time to act. BDE Landscape can assess the condition during our routine landscape maintenance visits and help keep soil and debris from piling against the fence to slow corrosion.

For sun-faded wood fences, we recommend strategic tree planting or pruning to cast shade, especially using native trees like live oaks. We also provide regular landscape maintenance to keep vines and overgrowth away, reducing moisture that contributes to staining. For chain link corrosion, we keep the fence line clear of wet debris and encourage proper drainage through grading and mulching. While we don't install fences ourselves, our services significantly extend the life of your existing fence and enhance curb appeal.
