Popular questions
Bell’s Outdoor Services provides several wood fencing styles, including vertical privacy fencing, classic shadowbox fences, and traditional pickets. For agricultural and equestrian properties in Ocala, they specialize in 3-rail and 4-rail wood board fencing, which offers a timeless ranch aesthetic while providing sturdy containment for livestock and horses.
To combat Florida’s high moisture, Bell’s Outdoor Services uses pressure-treated lumber specifically rated for ground contact. They also utilize professional post-setting techniques, ensuring posts are deep enough to remain stable in sandy soil. Homeowners are encouraged to stain or seal their fences to further prevent UV graying and water absorption.
Wood fencing is often preferred for its natural aesthetic and lower upfront cost compared to vinyl. It offers complete privacy and can be easily customized in height or style on-site. While it requires more maintenance (staining/sealing) than vinyl, many Gainesville homeowners choose wood for its organic look and traditional “curb appeal.”
Yes, Bell’s builds custom wood gates designed to match your specific fence style. They use heavy-duty hardware and reinforced bracing to prevent sagging over time. Whether you need a standard walk-through gate for a backyard or a double-drive gate for vehicle access, they ensure smooth operation and long-term durability.
Shadowbox fencing features alternating boards on both sides of the rail. It is highly popular in Florida because it allows for better airflow while still maintaining privacy. This wind-resistance makes it more durable during storm seasons compared to solid privacy fences, which act like a sail against high winds.
A professionally installed pressure-treated wood fence by Bell’s Outdoor Services typically lasts 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. Regularly cleaning and re-sealing the wood every few years protects it from the intense Florida sun and heavy rains, significantly extending the lifespan of the pickets and rails.
Yes, they are experts in equestrian wood board fencing. This style is the gold standard for Ocala horse farms, providing high visibility for the animals to prevent collisions. Bell’s ensures all boards are installed on the inside of the posts to withstand the weight of horses leaning against the fence.
The process begins with professional site marking and post-hole digging. Bell’s sets the posts in concrete for maximum stability. Unlike companies that use pre-fabricated panels, Bell’s sticks-builds fences on-site, ensuring the fence follows the natural contour of your land without leaving awkward gaps at the bottom.
It is generally recommended to wait 4 to 6 weeks after installation before staining or painting. This allows the pressure-treatment chemicals to dry out completely, ensuring the wood can properly absorb the sealant. Bell’s Outdoor Services can advise on the best local products suited for the North Central Florida climate.
