With the colder, wetter months on the horizon, now is the ideal time to ensure your property is ready to face the elements. One often-overlooked area is the condition of fences and trees surrounding your home. Tackling maintenance now can save you from costly repairs later.
Why You Should Check Your Fences:
Rotten Fence Posts: Constant exposure to rain and damp conditions can cause wooden fence posts to rot, weakening their structure. A rotten post can lead to an unstable fence, which may easily collapse during high winds.
Weak or Damaged Panels: Any existing weaknesses in your fence, such as loose panels or damage, make it more vulnerable to winter storms. High winds and heavy rain can cause unstable fences to come down, potentially damaging your garden or property.
Security and Privacy: A sturdy, well-maintained fence is essential for both security and privacy. Preventative repairs and maintenance will ensure your fence remains intact through the winter, avoiding any breaches in your boundary.
Importance of Tree Maintenance:
Loose or Dead Branches: Dead or loose branches pose a serious risk during storms. In strong winds or heavy snow, these branches can fall, causing damage to your home, cars, or even posing a danger to people.
Overgrown Trees: Trees with overgrown branches, particularly those close to fences, roofs, or power lines, need careful attention. Branches can break under pressure or rub against property, leading to damage, or even knock over fences in severe weather.
Pruning trees and ensuring fences are secure now will help you avoid major problems when winter storms arrive.
