Spring is finally here and the weather is beginning to break. As the sun begins to shine through the clouds of April showers and the temperatures begin to rise, many Maryland residents will take advantage of the nice weather to enjoy their yards. However, before you can enjoy your yard, it’s important to also prepare you yard for the spring and summer seasons. While spring cleaning tends to occur within your home, it’s also important to take part in spring cleaning your Maryland yard.
Community involvement is a main focus for Hercules Fence. While we are sure to focus on providing our residential and commercial customers with high quality fences, we also focus on donating our time and sources to community events and projects throughout the areas we service. In 2014, Hercules Fence was able to participate as a “Lead Supplier Firm” during the 22nd Annual Community Improvement Day with the District of Columbia Building Industry Association (DCBIA).
At Hercules Fence, we are known for bringing high quality fencing for both residential and commercial needs. We especially pride ourselves on our ability to not only provide these services throughout the Maryland and Virginia areas, but to help in the communities as well. We were recently able to participate in a Rebuilding Together Alexandria event.
Hercules Fence prides itself on being as proactive as possible in community involvement in the areas we service. Our involvement with Dunbar High School in 2013 was no exception. Hercules Fence was happy to assist with fencing for the new school and was excited to hear that the new high school had been named the greenest school in the world.
Even though a chain link fence is very durable, it still can face aesthetic wear and tear due to the elements.
Just like any project, fence maintenance requires preparation, and you can’t just expect to spray paint your chain link fence and restore it to its former beauty. You need to have the proper tools on hand in order to properly maintain your chain link fence.
