Hunt's Fencing: Reliable Commercial Fencing Serving Newton, NJ 7860

The primary cause is Newton's location in the Kittatinny Valley, surrounded by large tracts of forest and the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. This natural habitat has a high deer population, and as neighborhoods expand into these areas, deer lose their natural food sources and turn to residential gardens and shrubs. Standard 4-foot residential fences are simply no barrier for a deer, which can easily clear them, leading to constant damage to both the fence and your landscaping.

The most obvious sign is seeing deer tracks or droppings inside your fenced-in area. Other signs include rub marks on wooden fence posts or caps where deer have pushed against them, branches of ornamental plants being eaten at a height above 4 feet, and trampled garden beds near the fence line. You might also notice gaps at the bottom of the fence where smaller animals like groundhogs or rabbits have squeezed through, which can weaken the overall structure over time.

We install specialized high-tensile deer fencing, typically 7.5 to 8 feet tall, which deer are physically unable to jump. This fence is made from strong, weather-resistant materials like vinyl-coated wire that blends into the landscape and withstands Newton's snowy winters. Our installation includes tensioning the fence correctly and securing the bottom edge to prevent digging animals from getting through. We also offer custom gates that are high enough to keep deer out but are easy for you and your family to use. By addressing both height and strength, we create a permanent barrier that effectively ends the frustration of wildlife damage.
