Flowers
This is a wonderful way to enhance your
gardening. Climbing vine flowers can use the wood fence as a
support while shorter plants make a nice look around the frame. Whichever your choice, be sure that the flowers
don't overpower it, defeating the purpose
of having it in the first place.
Warning
Prior
to digging holes yourself or your contractor digs for fence
posts, call the city and utility companies to inquire about
the location of any underground utility lines through the
PUPS Line. Typically the number is on the first page of your
phone book listed as "Call Before you Dig"! In NC you can
dial 1-800-632-4949 from your home phone and in SC
1-888-721-7877.
South
Carolina and North Carolina law requires that you call to
have your lines marked at least three working days (72
hours) prior to beginning any type of excavation project.
Properly mark the area you plan on digging or excavating
with white paint and upon notification, PUPS will send a
representative to your property to mark the location of your
utility lines so that you or your contractor can easily
avoid them while working on your project. Line marking is
provided free of charge and is good for 10 working days
after it has been processed by PUPS.
Failure to notify PUPS prior to beginning an excavation
project can result in fines of up to $1,000. Please keep in
mind that you are responsible for violations resulting from
the work of contractors you hire.
