Wood and Vinyl Fencing Tucson AZ | Call Newheights Landscaping

Tucson’s extreme heat and low humidity cause wood to dry out and shrink, which can lead to cracking. Over time, the constant sun exposure dries the surface faster than the interior, creating stress that results in cracks. Newheights Landscaping can help by applying weatherproofing treatments and stains that slow moisture loss and protect the wood from the sun’s UV rays, often extending the life of your fence significantly.

Signs of sun damage include fading or discoloration, a chalky or rough surface texture, small cracks along the grain, and warping. If you notice the wood feels brittle or splinters easily, it’s likely due to prolonged sun exposure. Our team can assess your fence and recommend staining, painting, or weatherproofing services to restore appearance and structural integrity.

The most effective approach is to apply a high-quality UV-resistant stain or paint and reapply every few years. Regular weatherproofing treatments—like sealants—also help. At Newheights Landscaping, we offer fence painting, staining, and weatherproofing as part of our services. We can also repair damaged sections before treating the whole fence, which gives you longer-lasting protection against our harsh sun.
