Privacy Fence Installation Kansas City KS | Call Backyard Worx

In our area, the high humidity and frequent rain near the Missouri River cause soil to stay damp, especially in neighborhoods like Strawberry Hill or near the river bottoms. This moisture seeps into fence posts set in concrete, leading to rot. Backyard Worx recommends using cedar or pressure-treated wood, and we can install proper drainage or gravel bases to extend your fence's life.

Look for large, overhanging branches or roots pushing up against fence posts. After storms common in Kansas City, leaning trees or cracks in trunks near fences are red flags. Our tree care services include pruning back limbs that could fall on fences, especially important in neighborhoods like Rosedale where mature trees are common.

Lawn care that keeps soil evenly moist but well-drained prevents water pooling around fence posts, which causes rot. Backyard Worx offers aeration and proper mowing to avoid thatch buildup, which traps moisture. In areas like around Wyandotte County Lake, we also mulch beds to reduce soil splash against fence bases, preventing decay.
