Fence Contractor in Sussex County, DE

Sussex County sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Delaware Bay, and ocean winds carry salt particles inland well past the beachfront. Salt air corrodes metal fencing materials rapidly in this environment, and untreated steel posts and hardware can fail years ahead of schedule on properties near Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, and Bethany Beach. Vinyl and powder-coated aluminum hold up far better in these conditions, and we recommend them for coastal installs.

Inland Sussex County has sandy, well-draining soil that behaves differently from the clay-heavy soils in northern Delaware. Sandy soil does not hold posts as firmly as denser soil, which means post depth and concrete footing matter more here. We adjust our post-setting approach for sandy conditions so the fence stays plumb through the wet seasons and summer heat.

Sussex County has a large vacation and second-home market along the Route 1 corridor and in beach communities. These properties need fencing that looks good and stays maintained even when the owner is not there. We install fencing that requires minimal upkeep and handle repairs on properties that have been left unattended through a winter season. Locally owned and second-generation, we work with both full-time residents and property owners who are not always on-site.
