Cruz Landscaping Services - Bellevue's Reliable Privacy Fence Installation

This is often caused by post erosion due to Bellevue's heavy rainfall and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, which can loosen the soil and compromise stability. Our solution includes excavating around the affected posts, removing rotted or damaged sections, and resetting them with concrete footings or gravel bases for improved drainage. We also inspect the surrounding landscape to redirect water away from the posts, preventing future erosion.

Gate latch failures are often a sign of a sagging gate or shifting fence posts rather than just a worn latch. In Bellevue's climate, moisture can cause wood to swell and hardware to rust. Our approach is to first check post alignment and gate hinge condition. We then replace any corroded or bent hardware, adjust the hinges to restore proper alignment, and lubricate the latch mechanism. If the post itself is unstable, we can reset or reinforce it to prevent the problem from recurring.

Absolutely. We often install French drains or dry wells near fence lines to manage excess water flow. Improving grading and adding permeable surfaces around post bases also helps. During fence installation or repair, we use treated posts and gravel backfill to promote drainage. Combined with proper shrub care—like keeping roots from disrupting the posts—these measures significantly reduce erosion and extend the life of your fence.
