Your fence is an investment — and like anything exposed to the elements, it needs regular care to stay in top shape. At Luxe Fencing, we believe a little seasonal maintenance can go a long way. Here are our best tips to protect your fence throughout the year in Southwest Oklahoma:
🌱 Spring: Clean & Inspect
- Remove debris, dirt, and mold from wood or vinyl with a gentle wash.
- Check for any winter damage: loose boards, rust, or shifting posts.
- Trim back any overgrowth or weeds near the fence base.
☀️ Summer: Seal & Protect
- If you have a wood fence, summer is the perfect time to stain or reseal it.
- Inspect for warping or dry rot from the intense heat.
- Check gates and latches that may have expanded from temperature changes.
🍂 Fall: Prepare for Weather Changes
- Clear leaves and debris to prevent moisture buildup.
- Look for signs of mold or mildew and clean as needed.
- Make sure your posts are stable before the freeze-thaw cycle begins.
❄️ Winter: Minimal Stress, Maximum Protection
- Avoid piling snow or ice directly against the fence.
- Watch for damage from heavy winds or falling limbs.
- After storms, inspect your fence for any new issues.
Maintaining your fence doesn’t have to be a hassle. A few small tasks each season can add years to its life — and protect your investment. Need help? Luxe Fencing offers maintenance consultations and repair services throughout the year.
