Frequently Asked Questions

What causes fence posts to rot so quickly in Anchorage, and how can I prevent it?

The primary cause is trapped moisture from snowmelt and spring thaws. When snow piles up against fence posts, it slowly melts, saturating the wood and concrete base. Over time, this leads to rot. Our landscape construction and installation services address this by improving drainage around fence lines. We can regrade the soil, install French drains, or use gravel backfill to allow water to escape, extending the life of your fence.

My fence is leaning after winter. Is it from frost heave, and can you fix it?

Yes, leaning fences in Anchorage are often caused by frost heave—when frozen ground expands and shifts the fence posts. This is especially common in areas with heavy clay soil. We can reset the posts deeper, below the frost line, or use helical anchors for a more stable foundation. Our snow removal services also help by keeping snow from piling up against the fence, reducing the freeze-thaw cycles that cause movement.

How does your landscaping work help prevent fence damage from snow and ice?

Our landscape maintenance and lawn care services focus on keeping your property clear of debris and ensuring proper grading. By trimming back trees and shrubs (part of our tree care services), we reduce the risk of ice-laden branches falling on your fence. Additionally, we strategically plan snow removal to avoid pushing heavy snow directly against fence posts, which minimizes moisture buildup and pressure that can lead to leaning or rot.
