Beat the cold! As fall is here, now is the ideal time to install a fence before winter hits and the temperatures officially drop. Plus, you can avoid the spring and summer rush by getting your fence project completed now.
Beat the crowd.
Fall is one of the smartest times to install a fence because most fence companies experience slower schedules after the busy spring and summer seasons. By booking your project now, you can avoid the long wait times and higher demand that come once warmer weather returns.
What’s more, with crews more readily available, you’ll likely enjoy faster installation, more personalized service and the peace of mind of having your fence ready before winter arrives.
Avoid winter delays.
Installation during this time is also one of the best ways to avoid winter delays. Once the ground freezes, digging post holes becomes a major challenge, often leading to project delays. By installing your fence before the first freeze, you can avoid potential cold-weather issues and benefit from a timely install.
Fewer plant disturbances.
Another main reason to install a fence before winter hits is to minimize the disturbances to your landscaping. During spring and summer, gardens and yards are in full bloom, making it more challenging to work around plants without causing damage.
In contrast, fall brings slower plant growth and fewer active plants. This creates the ideal conditions for a fence project. With less vegetation to navigate, your fence can be installed more efficiently while keeping your landscaping intact and looking its best.
Easier digging.
In addition, the soil during this time is ideal for digging and setting fence posts. This is because the soil is neither too dry nor frozen.
During the hot summer months, soil can become overly dry and uneven, while in winter, the ground can freeze. And added moisture can turn your yard into a hard, concrete-like surface by February. Installing your fence in the fall means easier, more consistent digging.
