Question 1

What types of wood are used for fencing?

Accepted Answer

Roots Landscaping primarily builds fences using cedar and pressure-treated pine. Cedar offers distinct visual properties, while pine is a widely used alternative. The choice of wood impacts the visual characteristics and maintenance needs of the final fence structure.

Question 2

Can wood fences be built on uneven ground?

Accepted Answer

Yes, wood fences can be constructed to accommodate sloped or uneven terrain. The installation process involves adjusting the post heights and rail placements so the fence either follows the ground contour or steps down the slope in sections.

Question 3

Do wood fences require ongoing maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Wood fences need periodic maintenance to retain their appearance. This typically involves cleaning the boards and applying stain, paint, or water repellent to protect the wood from moisture and sunlight. Regular inspections help identify any boards that may need attention.
