David Landscaping: Best Fencing Company Serving Seattle, WA 98148

Constant moisture from Seattle's frequent rain, combined with soil contact, accelerates wood rot. Poor drainage around the post base traps water against the wood. David Landscaping addresses this by using pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods like cedar. We also improve site drainage and may use concrete footings that extend above ground level to keep the post base dry, preventing future decay.

Yes, leaning posts are often a sign that the wood at ground level has rotted or the soil has become too soft to hold the post securely. This compromises the entire fence's stability. We can assess the root cause. Often, we recommend replacing the affected posts with new ones set deeper into stable soil with proper gravel drainage and concrete support, ensuring your fence stays straight for years.

Absolutely. Often, poor landscape grading directs water toward fence lines, accelerating decay. Our landscape design and construction services can regrade your yard to divert water away from fences. We also integrate French drains or other irrigation solutions to manage excess moisture, creating a drier, healthier environment for your fence and entire landscape.
