Frequently Asked Questions
How do you prevent fences from leaning after heavy rain in Benton?
In Benton, our clay soil can shift after heavy rain, causing fence posts to lean. We address this by setting posts at least 3 feet deep and using concrete footings with drainage gravel to redirect moisture. For added stability, we often recommend galvanized steel posts or reinforced wood posts. This method has proven effective for our Central Arkansas customers over the past 60 years.
What is the best way to protect a wooden fence from staining deterioration?
Wooden fences in Benton are exposed to humidity and intense sun, which can cause staining and rot. We recommend applying a high-quality wood sealant or stain every 2–3 years, and we offer professional painting and staining services. For new installations, we use treated lumber and install it with proper ventilation to extend its lifespan.
Can you install an automatic gate for a commercial property in Benton?
Absolutely. We install automatic gate operators for residential, commercial, and industrial properties throughout Central Arkansas. Our team handles everything from sliding gates to swing gates, including electrical wiring and safety sensors. We have experience with properties near the Saline County Industrial Park and can customize a solution to fit your security needs.
