Fence Installation Wakefield MA | Call Done Right Landscape

In Wakefield, the most common cause of rotting fence posts is moisture wicking up from the ground combined with freeze-thaw cycles that crack the wood and paint seal. This creates an entry point for rot. Our solution is to first inspect and remove the damaged posts, then install new pressure-treated lumber set in concrete below the frost line. We then apply a high-quality weatherproofing stain to seal the new wood, followed by a careful paint or stain to match your existing fence. We also recommend annual inspections to catch small cracks early.

An uneven gate is often a sign of a settling foundation or a bent hinge, common in our area due to soil movement. This puts strain on the automatic opener, leading to premature failure. Our team will first diagnose the cause—checking the gate's alignment, hinge condition, and track. We can then repair or replace damaged components, re-set the gate posts on a stable concrete base, and re-attach the automatic opener. We also provide routine maintenance, like lubricating hinges and checking the opener's sensors, to prevent future issues.

It can be either. Shrubs next to a fence often suffer from poor air circulation and moisture buildup, making them prone to fungal diseases like anthracnose or insect infestations like aphids or scale. Our trained specialists will identify the specific issue through a thorough inspection. For diseases, we apply targeted fungicides and recommend pruning to improve airflow. For insects, we use environmentally responsible insecticides or horticultural oils. We also provide shrub planting and transplanting services to position new shrubs for better health away from fence lines.
