Dealing with deer damage to your plants on the Saanich Peninsula can be quite exhausting. While deer “repellants” are available as a deterrent, they are really only effective until rain washes it from the foliage. Winter is when deer really turn to browsing, and winter is when it rains the heaviest. So, we will always recommend fencing as the only feasible, final solution, to deer damage. Oakstead is getting a growing reputation for the quality of our fences.
