Creek Side Fence - Albany's Experienced Fence Installation

The wet winters and heavy clay soils in Albany, especially near the Willamette River, can saturate the ground and soften post footings. Over time, this causes wooden and vinyl fences to lean or sag. Creek Side Fence uses deep-set, frost-proof concrete footings and rot-resistant materials to keep your fence straight and stable through all seasons.

Look for soft spots at the base of posts, peeling paint that reveals darkened wood, or small piles of sawdust from carpenter ants. Albany’s damp climate makes this common, especially in older neighborhoods near the historic district. Give any suspect area a gentle poke with a screwdriver—if it sinks in easily, you likely need a repair. We’ll inspect and replace damaged sections to match your existing fence.

For strength and longevity, we recommend pressure-treated cedar or high-quality vinyl. Cedar naturally resists moisture and insects, while vinyl won’t rot or warp—even after months of rain near spots like Timber Linn Park. We also offer galvanized metal options for security fences. We’ll help you choose materials that fit your budget and survive our wet Willamette Valley weather.
