Wood Fencing
Wood is another highly attractive material that can be designed to accent most any style of home. Wooden privacy fences provide security and privacy in a wide variety of design choices. Using only pressure-treated wood, fences installed by Alternative Environments are built to last without unnatural warping or changing dimensions.
The natural appeal of wooden fences has made them the most common fencing solution with the two most popular options being pine and cedar.
Pine
Hydroseeding (or hydraulic mulch seeding, hydro-mulching, hydraseeding) is a planting process which utilizes a slurry of seed and mulch. The slurry is transported in a tank, either truck- or trailer-mounted and sprayed over prepared ground in a uniform layer. Hydroseeding is an alternative to the traditional process of broadcasting or sowing dry seed. It promotes quick germination and inhibits soil erosion.
Advantages: Pine fences are less expensive to install than cedar fences.
Cedar
Western Red Cedar fence material should be your only choice when you consider its unbeatable quality, appearance and longevity. The natural oils in cedar help make the wood material resistant to decay and insect attack, increasing its durability and weatherability without the use of chemical treatments. Cedar fence material is dimensionally stable much more so than other woods so there is minimal shrinkage; your cedar fence will stay straight and sturdy. Above all, the cedar wood has a beauty all its own with colors, grains, and textures unmatched by any other fence material. If you want colors other than cedar's own natural tones, the wood can easily be stained. Properly constructed and maintained, a cedar wood fence will look good for years, adding prestige and value to your home and garden.
Advantages: Cedar fences is naturally rot resistant and holds its dimensions over time better than pine (less likely to warp).
In addition to the type of material you choose (pine vs. cedar) for your fence, there are also several design styles to choose from. Give us a call today for a free consultation.
Iron Fencing
A retaining wall is a structure that retains (holds back) any material (usually earth) and prevents it from sliding or eroding away. It is designed so that to resist the material pressure of the material that it is holding back.
Advantages: Hydroseeding is used to seed grass on commercial sites (highways/motorways etc.), golf courses, lawns and areas too large, inaccessible or unsuitable for cost-effective conventional methods. Starting a lawn by hydroseeding is considerably cheaper than laying sod/turf and quicker than using seed.
Chain Fencing
When it comes to sediment control, silt fence still remains the most common method used on construction and other sites in the United States. Made of geosynthetic fabric, the fencing is staked into the ground at intervals, with the lower edge trenched into the ground in an effort to stop muddy water from flowing underneath it. Soil particles are retained by the fabric while water passes through.
PVC Fencing
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Inspections are designed to verify wastewater treatment plants, storm water industrial, construction sites, and other facilities adhere to guidelines related to pollution prevention.
