Oja Lawn & Landscape: Reliable Commercial Fencing Serving Delano, MN 55328

We anchor fence posts below the frost line (at least 42 inches in Delano) and use concrete collars with proper drainage to avoid shifting. For wood posts, we recommend pressure-treated lumber and apply a water-resistant stain to slow rot. For metal or vinyl, we use heavy-gauge materials with reinforced footings. We also assess your yard’s slope and soil type—common in areas near the Crow River—to prevent future leaning. If your existing fence is already damaged, we can replace individual posts or sections without redoing the entire line.

Yes. We handle the full cycle: we install wood, vinyl, or metal fences and can paint or stain them immediately after installation or later as a refresh. For new fences, we apply a protective coat before the first winter to seal out moisture. For older fences, we’ll power-wash, sand, and apply a semi-transparent stain or solid color—matching any existing fence on your property. We use exterior-grade products that resist UV fading and mildew, common around Delano’s lake areas.

A retaining wall is engineered to hold back soil and manage water drainage on slopes, while a garden border is purely decorative and less than 12 inches tall. If your yard has a noticeable grade—common in neighborhoods near Delano’s older downtown or near the Crow River—a retaining wall is often necessary to prevent erosion and foundation issues. We build walls with interlocking concrete blocks or natural stone, incorporating drainage gravel and weep holes. For mild slopes, a low border wall might suffice. We’ll visit your property, check the soil and slope angle, and recommend the right solution so you don’t overbuild or underbuild.
