Fence installation Lafayette, IN
Before anything is dug, Parker walks the property line with you and agrees the layout, the height, where gates go and how the fence handles slope and corners. Getting this right on the ground is what keeps a finished run looking straight.
Posts are dug and set deep enough for Indiana frost, spaced evenly and checked plumb as they go in. A fence stands or falls on its posts, so this is the part that gets the most attention.
Gates get framed, hung and adjusted so they swing clear, sit level and latch without a shove. A gate that drags is the most common complaint about a new fence, and it is entirely avoidable.
Spoil from the post holes, offcuts and packaging leave with Parker. You get the fence, not the mess that came with building it.
The fences in the photos on this site are built from wood — picket and privacy styles. Rather than list materials Mercer has not publicly confirmed, the honest answer is to ask: describe what you are after and Parker will tell you what he can build and what it would cost.

Fence repair Lafayette, IN
Posts usually fail at grade, where wet soil meets wood. Individual posts can often be replaced without dismantling the whole run.
A fallen limb, a vehicle or a hard Indiana storm can take out a section or two. Damaged sections get rebuilt and matched to the existing fence as closely as the materials allow.
Gates drop over time as hinges wear and frames rack. Re-squaring the frame and resetting the hardware usually fixes it for good.
If a fence is far enough gone that repairs will not hold, Parker will say so rather than take money for a patch that fails next season.
