D's Fence & Landscape | Local Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Chicago, IL

For Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow, we typically recommend pressure-treated pine, cedar, or vinyl. Pressure-treated wood resists rot and insects, while cedar offers natural weather resistance. Vinyl won't warp or rot and is easy to maintain. We also offer steel and aluminum for automatic gates. All materials we use are sourced from reputable suppliers and can be painted or stained to match your home.

Frost heave is common in Chicago due to deep ground freezing. Our repair process involves removing the affected post, digging a hole below the frost line (at least 48 inches deep), and setting the new post in concrete. We also add gravel at the bottom for drainage. For existing posts that have shifted, we can sometimes brace them with metal anchors or install a concrete collar. This ensures your fence stays level and secure through winter.

Yes, we provide full tree care services including pruning, trimming, removal, stump grinding, cabling, and bracing. We also handle insect management for trees. Our team is experienced with Chicago's common species like oaks and maples. For pruning, we follow best practices to promote healthy growth and prevent storm damage. Tree removal is done safely with proper equipment, and we clean up thoroughly.
