FAQs

How can I prevent my fence from cracking in the Alvarado heat?

In Alvarado’s hot, dry climate, wooden fences are prone to cracking due to moisture loss and sun exposure. At Big Country Services, we recommend using pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods like cedar, and applying a high-quality stain or paint that includes UV protection. We also suggest regular maintenance—re-staining every 2-3 years—and ensuring proper spacing between boards to allow for expansion. Our team can assess your existing fence and recommend repairs or a new installation that stands up to local weather conditions.

Do you offer both manual and automatic gate installation?

Yes, we install both manual and automatic gates for residential and commercial properties. Manual gates are a cost-effective option for driveways or walkways, while automatic gates offer added convenience and security. We handle the entire process, from metal fabrication of custom gates to installing the opener system and safety sensors. Whether you want a sliding or swing gate, we’ll match it to your property’s layout and your budget.

Can you remove a large tree that’s close to my house in Alvarado?

Absolutely. Tree removal near structures requires careful planning and expertise. Our team is experienced in safely taking down trees in tight spaces, using rigging techniques to avoid damage to your home, fences, or landscaping. We also provide stump grinding and removal afterward. For trees that are healthy but overgrown, we offer pruning and trimming services to keep them safe and looking their best. Just give us a call to schedule a free estimate.
