  • Fall Fence Maintenance with Hercules Fence

    Fall Fence Maintenance

    October is here and fall is finally upon the Mid-Atlantic region. Fall means crisp weather, apple picking, and a new style of yard work. With the changing of the season comes the need for fall fence maintenance. Each fence style requires some type of fall maintenance, depending on the style of fence you have for your home.

    Fall Fence Maintenance for your Home

    • Wood- Wood fences typically require more maintenance in general because of they run a higher risk for damage. During the fall, be sure to remove any debris resting on top or at the base of your wood fence. Leaves around the posts of your fence could lead to rotting and warping of your fence.
    • Vinyl- Vinyl fencing requires the least amount of maintenance overall because of the durable materials used to create the fence. Rinsing your fence with soap and water whenever dirt or debris is noticeable will help your vinyl fence last through the fall.
    • Aluminum- An aluminum fence also requires a low amount of maintenance generally. During the fall, avoid hanging heavy decorations and keep your fence free of debris.
    • Chain Link- During the fall season, consider installing fence slats to increase your overall curb appeal. Remove any debris that happens to get attached to your chain link fence to decrease the chance of rusting.

  • How to Benefit from an Automated Gate System

    Automated Gate Systems

    Homeowners are always looking for ways to improve their home. Sometimes improvements are made to increase the overall value of the home, others to improve the security of the home. Did you know there is a way to increase the security and value of your home at the same time? An automated gate system by Hercules Fence can bring several benefits to a home, including security and value.

    Why an Automated Gate System?

    1. Curb Appeal- A fence already adds a certain level of curb appeal to your home. An automated gate system increases that curb appeal level by adding sophistication to the entrance of your home. It also shows that you care about your house and its overall appearance.
    2. Child Safety- Parents can rest easy knowing their children are safe while playing in the yard. The gate system will prevent the child from leaving the yard while also preventing strangers from entering.
    3. Security- An automated gate system becomes the first line of defense against crime for your home. Criminals attempting to invade your home will be deterred when they are unable to get past your gate.
    4. Insurance- Because gate systems deter crime, some insurance providers may be willing to give you breaks for having a system for your yard.
    5. Pet Safety-Your pets will stay safe within your yard while keeping other animals away. Children and teenagers passing your yard are also unable to see your pet, deterring them from tormenting your pet.
    6. Property Value- The higher your curb appeal, the higher your property value typically is. An automated gate system tends to make selling a home easier.
    7. Privacy- Are solicitors common in your neighborhood? Do children like to cut through your yard while walking home from school? Add a layer of privacy to your home with an automated gate system.

    Choose Hercules Fence

    • Adding outdoor lighting is a sure way to make your home appear more welcoming and inviting.
    • Having a colorful or decorated front door is always a nice place to begin when it comes to curb appeal. Adding a bright color paint or a fun wreath are great ways to add to your front door and overall curb appeal.
    • Creating a garden is a fun hobby that will increase the appearance of your home tremendously.
    • Having symmetry is also key. Having your decorations symmetrical will help your home look neat and welcoming.

  • Summer Fence Options from Hercules Fence

    custom wood privacy fenceSummer is on its way, which means plenty of time outside in the sun is ahead. Maybe this is the first summer your son or daughter is old enough to play in the yard alone. This could be the summer when you decide to finally get the puppy you have always wanted, or it’s possible you finally have time to replace the fence that has been on your list since the winter. How do you possibly decide which is right for you? Let Hercules Fence help.

    Some things for you to consider while making your decision are:

    1. Budget-How much am I willing to pay?
    2. Privacy-Do I want the public to see into my yard?
    3. Materials-Do I need to keep something in or just need decoration?

    Let us also look at specific scenarios for needing a fence. If you are buying a fence for the purpose of keeping a dog within a yard, a PVC vinyl fence would be the best option. At Hercules Fence, we use only the most durable material when installing a PVC fence. This will prevent your dog from climbing over the fence or chewing on the fence if he/she gets bored. A PVC vinyl fence would also work well with children in the yard. The fence won’t warp and it will be difficult for them to do any damage to the material. Climbing will also be tough to do as well. A vinyl coated chain link fence from Hercules Fence would suit a child well too. The coating prevents any rusting or damage to take place and will also prevent the child from climbing out of the yard. Anything with larger space like wood railing would be a danger to a child.

    If the goal isn’t to keep something in, but to decorate your yard, try a custom wood or ornamental aluminum fence. An aluminum fence compliments any type of landscaping and is able to withstand the elements with little upkeep. A custom wood fence allows you to add a rustic feel to your home, and privacy too if you choose. Wood fences can be used as privacy fences and can be treated or untreated to suit your decorative needs.

    At Hercules Fence, we strive to ensure that you choose the fence that’s right for you. With 6 convenient locations, you are sure to find the fence of your dreams with Hercules Fence. Call or visit the location nearest you. Offices are located in:

    1. Jessup, MD
    2. Manassas, VA

  • The Benefits of Trellis Systems

    trellis fence

    Do you want to enhance your curb appeal just in time for the holidays? You can do it quick and easy with a trellis fence and overall trellis systems for residential properties.

    What are trellis fences?

    Trellises are fences commonly featured in gardens. The trellis systems are beautiful architectural structures which can be positioned virtually anywhere in your front or backyard. The trellis fences are predominately composed of lattice and combined by frame and posts. Hercules Fence can design your custom trellis fence or other trellis systems using wood, vinyl or metal material.

    Trellis fencing comes with so many benefits beyond aesthetic appeal. The trellis fence is highly functional, durable and it has the strength to support a variety of plants and flowers on it, such as roses and honeysuckle plants. Trellis systems can also be used to designate particular parts of your property while providing an extra layer of privacy.

    Hercules Fence can create weather resistant trellis systems for your property as well as anti-rust / anti-corrosion features.

    What types of trellis systems are available for residential projects? The answer is three main types – high head systems, single curtain systems and double curtain systems.

    The high head systems are great for growing fruits for those that appreciate simple trellis systems. The single curtain systems are cost effective and good for trailing growth when it comes to harvesting and pruning. The double curtain systems are perfect for plants that need plenty of sun exposure.
