Silman Landscape Development - Augusta's Local Commercial Fencing

Augusta's high humidity and intense UV exposure cause fence stains to fade, peel, and deteriorate faster. Rain and moisture encourage mildew growth, which breaks down the stain. To prevent this, we recommend using high-quality, UV-resistant sealants and reapplying every 2-3 years. Our team can assess your fence and apply a protective coating designed for the local weather.

Signs of termite damage include hollow-sounding wood when tapped, visible mud tunnels on the fence surface, cracked or bubbling paint, and small piles of wood-colored droppings near the base. If you notice any of these, it's best to get a professional inspection. We can identify termite activity and recommend treatments, from localized repairs to full panel replacement, using termite-resistant materials.

Proper grading to direct water away from fence lines, removing wood debris and mulch that touches the fence, and regular trimming of shrubs and vines can reduce termite risk. Our landscape maintenance includes these practices, plus routine fence checks. For existing issues, we offer integrated pest management with our landscape design, such as installing gravel barriers or treated wood.
