Professional Privacy Fence Installation in Des Plaines, IL 60018 - Coronel's landscaping

Fence staining failure often results from moisture trapped beneath the paint or stain, especially given our humid summers and freeze-thaw cycles. Improper surface prep—like not cleaning mold or old stain—also leads to peeling. Coronel's addresses this by power-washing the wood, applying a high-quality exterior stain, and sealing properly. Our landscape maintenance services include regular inspections to catch early signs of failure, saving you from costly replacements.

A leaning post is a clear sign that the foundation or soil has shifted. In Des Plaines, heavy rains and clay soils often wash away support around the post. If the lean is more than 10 degrees or the post rocks easily, it's a structural problem. Coronel's can assess the site, check for erosion, and recommend regrading or replacing the post with a concrete collar. Our earthmoving and regrading services restore proper drainage and stability.

The long-term fix involves both addressing the leaning posts and improving drainage. Coronel's starts by removing the affected posts and digging deeper, wider holes. We fill the base with gravel and use fast-setting concrete that withstands moisture. Then we regrade the surrounding area so water runs away from the fence line. This combines our retaining wall and regrading expertise to prevent future movement and keep your fence standing straight for years.
