SEWELL, NJ – August 19, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Tri-State Fence & Deck completed a 6-foot vinyl privacy fence on Aug. 10 for a Sewell homeowner whose backyard sloped enough that a single fixed fence height would have left an open gap along the ground. The company graded the fence line post by post to follow the land, a method that closes the bottom gaps a sloped yard creates and keeps pets from slipping underneath.

Tri-State Fence & Deck has installed fences across Gloucester, Camden, and Burlington counties for more than 20 years. The family-owned company, run by Eriberto Torres Sr. and Eriberto Torres Jr., holds New Jersey home improvement contractor license #13VH13604500 and backs its installations with a three-year workmanship warranty covering post movement, panel separation, and gate alignment. Vinyl privacy fencing accounts for the majority of the company’s residential work.

The Sewell project called for a solid white vinyl privacy fence standing 6 feet tall, a height that blocks sightlines into the yard while holding up to weather without the sanding, staining, or sealing a wood fence requires. Matching solid panels ran along the rear and side of the property and closed the yard off from the neighboring lots. The lot ran on a steady grade from one end of the fence line to the other. On that kind of slope, posts set to one uniform height leave the panels either floating above the low ground or cutting into the high ground, and the space that opens beneath the boards is wide enough for a dog to push through.

Sloped and graded lots are common across the older neighborhoods and newer developments of Gloucester County, where yards are often cut to drain rather than to sit level. Across more than 20 years of local installations, Tri-State Fence & Deck has treated grade as a measurement question to settle at the estimate rather than a detail to work around during the build.

To handle the slope, the crew stepped the fence line progressively, adjusting the height of each section to track the ground rather than hold a single level line. The crew set each post in a concrete footing to hold the line against seasonal ground movement and kept the panels level within every stepped section, so the finished fence reads as an even, deliberate line rather than a run that leans with the hill. The company documented the approach in a short project video that explains why the posts look uneven partway through the job and how the completed fence sits flush to the ground along its full length. Tri-State Fence & Deck also manages permit applications and utility-line marking on its installations, so homeowners do not handle that paperwork themselves.

“A sloped yard is where you find out whether a fence was measured or just ordered,” said Eriberto Torres Sr., owner of Tri-State Fence & Deck. “Anybody can set posts to one height and walk away. Do that on a grade and the customer is calling three months later because the dog found the gap under the low end. We would rather spend the extra time on site than take that call.”
