Expert Fence Contractors in Melrose, MA 2176 - Done Right Landscape

Melrose’s damp springs and freeze-thaw cycles can cause moisture to pool at the base of fence posts. If the wood isn't pressure-treated or properly sealed, rot sets in quickly. Done Right Landscape can assess the damage, replace rotted posts with treated lumber, and apply a weatherproofing stain designed for our local climate. We also check for proper drainage and use gravel or concrete footings to keep posts dry.

Sagging usually means the hinge hardware has loosened or the gate frame has twisted from moisture. In Melrose, heavy snow can also weigh down a gate over time. Done Right Landscape can tighten or replace hinges, add a tension cable or wheel support, and reset the latch. If the gate is beyond repair, we'll install a new, correctly braced gate that handles our weather.

Snow, salt, and repeated freezing can crack paint and warp boards. Done Right Landscape offers weatherproofing services including sealing all end grains, applying a high-quality exterior stain or paint, and adding a drip cap on top rails. We also trim back any shrubs that trap moisture against the fence. A yearly check before winter helps catch small issues before they become costly repairs.
