5T Construction | Local Commercial Fencing in Lakeland, FL

Constant humidity and afternoon rain showers are the main culprits. Water sits on untreated wood, especially at ground contact points. Overhanging vegetation from neighbors' lots can also trap moisture against the fence. We start by removing rotted sections, treating the surrounding soil to prevent regrowth, and replacing the damaged wood with pressure-treated lumber. We also recommend weatherproofing the new wood to slow future rot.

Roots from oaks or palm roots can push fence posts out of alignment. Vines like bougainvillea or trumpet creeper can wrap around rails and pull them down. Our approach is to cut back the vegetation, reset or replace the affected posts, and install root barriers if needed. For ongoing issues, we can install a small section of metal or composite material near the root zone to avoid wood-to-soil contact.

Yes. Many Lakeland homes have sloped or uneven driveways, especially in older neighborhoods. We measure the exact grade and install a swing gate with custom hinges or a sliding gate if space is limited. We also run conduit for wiring underground to keep it out of sight. After installation, we test the sensors and safety features to ensure smooth operation on your specific site.
