Q&A
What causes wooden fences to rot quickly in Lexington-Fayette, and how can I prevent it?
The main cause is moisture from Kentucky's frequent rain and humidity, which leads to rot if wood isn't properly treated. Signs include soft spots near the base or discoloration. Our solution involves using pressure-treated lumber or cedar, plus applying a waterproof sealant during installation. We also ensure posts are set with gravel for drainage, which extends fence life by years.
My gate is sagging and won't latch properly. What's the likely problem?
This often happens when the gate hinges are too weak for the weight, or the posts have shifted due to ground movement. You might notice an uneven gap at the top or bottom. We fix this by reinforcing the gate frame, installing heavier-duty hinges, or resetting the post with concrete. In some cases, we recommend a steel gate for better long-term durability.
Do I need a permit to install a fence near Hamburg Pavilion or in a historic district like Gratz Park?
Yes, Lexington-Fayette requires permits for most fence installations, especially in historic districts or near property lines. The rules vary by neighborhood. We handle the permit process for you, ensuring your fence meets height limits and setback requirements. This saves you time and avoids fines, whether you're near the mall or downtown.
