Common Questions
My fence is leaning after heavy rain in Annapolis. Can you fix the drainage issue that caused it?
Yes. Leaning fences often result from poor drainage and soil erosion around posts. While we don't install fences, we can design and install a patio, terrace, or retaining wall to redirect water away from the fence line. We also offer irrigation design and repair to manage stormwater effectively, preventing future damage. Our landscape construction team can regrade the area, install swales, or add gravel drains to stabilize the ground near your fence.
What are the signs that my Annapolis lawn's irrigation system is damaging my fence?
Common signs include constant wet spots at the base of fence posts, rust on metal posts, or rot on wooden posts. You might also notice moss or algae growth on the fence. If your sprinkler heads are spraying directly onto the fence, that's a clear sign. We offer irrigation repair and maintenance to adjust spray patterns, repair leaks, and install drip irrigation along fence lines. This keeps your fence dry and extends its life.
I want to build a deck near my existing fence in Annapolis. Can you help with the design and construction?
Absolutely. Our deck design and construction services include planning the layout with proper setbacks from the fence to allow for airflow and maintenance access. We'll also ensure the deck's drainage system moves water away from the fence line to prevent rot or rust. Whether you want an attached deck or a freestanding one, we handle everything from permits to final installation, working around your fence and yard's layout.
