Residential Fencing Freehold NJ | Call Mid Jersey Fence

The main culprit is consistent moisture, common in freehold's clay-heavy soil which holds water around the base of untreated or improperly set posts. The first sign is usually soft, crumbly wood near the ground line. We solve this by excavating the rotted post, replacing it with a pressure-treated or vinyl post, and ensuring proper gravel drainage at the base to keep moisture away. This extends the life of your fence significantly.

Yes, that's a very typical issue here. High winds can twist the frame or loosen the hinges, especially on a gate that’s supporting a heavy section of fencing. The sign to look for is a gap at the top or bottom of the gate when closed. We can often repair the gate by reinforcing the corner brackets, adjusting or replacing hinges, and sometimes installing a wheel to take the weight off the latch. We'll restore function without needing a full fence replacement.

For deer and general wildlife intrusion, we typically recommend a 6-foot or taller privacy fence, either solid vinyl or a wood stockade style. Deer are less likely to attempt to jump a fence they can't see through. For a more natural look that still works, a high-tensile wire or a deer mesh fence can be very effective. We'll assess your lot line and install a gate that's sturdy enough to withstand animals pushing against it.
