SPS Landscaping & Masonry | Fence Installation in Avon, MA

The most common cause is poor drainage and the freeze-thaw cycle common in Avon. When water pools around wooden posts, it accelerates rot. In winter, the ground shifts, which can loosen posts. We solve this by setting posts in concrete below the frost line and using pressure-treated lumber or rot-resistant materials like vinyl or aluminum.

A clear sign is if you or your neighbor are unsure of the exact markers. In Avon, stakes from prior surveys may have been moved or are missing. We recommend hiring a surveyor before we install to avoid costly mistakes. We can also mention Avon's specific setback requirements to ensure your new fence is code-compliant.

I'd recommend a vinyl or aluminum fence set with concrete footings. Our team is experienced with Avon's rocky soil; we use specialized digging equipment to excavate solid holes without disturbing your lawn. For security, a 5-foot or 6-foot privacy fence with a self-closing gate works perfectly for most active breeds.
