Oh, Deer! Protect Gardens with GM Fence By Janis Hashe
I
n the wild, deer are graceful creatures. But to homeowners who have worked all spring and summer to create a gorgeous garden only to discover it eaten to a nub, they are pests. That is why, says Joe Perrello, President of GM Fence, now is the time to have gardens and landscapes deer fenced. “If the deer can’t see where they’re jumping, they won’t invade,” he explains. GM Fence offers several options from galvanized or vinyl-coated welded wire to deer mesh. The team works closely with homeowners to create an aesthetically pleasing result. Even steep terrain landscaping can be safeguarded. The company provides free estimate. Perrello notes that most jobs in clearly marked spaces take between three and four days to complete—not a big time investment to protect a fall harvest. GM Fence Company is located at 170 Route 10 West in East Hanover. For more information on deer and other fencing, call 973-386-1818 or visit www.gmfence.com
