Common Questions
What types of deck materials do you recommend for Lebanon's weather?
For Lebanon’s humid summers and freezing winters, we often suggest pressure-treated pine for affordability or composite decking for low maintenance. Both handle moisture and temperature changes well when properly installed. We can help you choose based on your budget and how much upkeep you want.
How do you prevent fence posts from shifting in Lebanon's clay soil?
A common local issue is clay soil expanding and contracting with moisture, which can push posts out of alignment. To prevent this, we dig post holes below the frost line (at least 36 inches deep) and use gravel at the base for drainage. We also set posts in concrete to keep them stable year-round.
Can you repair a damaged gate on an existing fence?
Yes, we repair manual gates that are sagging, sticking, or have broken hinges. We’ll assess whether the gate frame needs reinforcement or if the posts need resetting. Often the fix is straightforward, and we can match the repair to your existing fence style.
