Questions and Answers
My existing fence is leaning and rotted near the soil line. How can landscape design help fix this without starting completely over?
Rot at the soil line is common in Laurel due to high humidity and rain. A landscape designer can assess drainage around the posts and regrade the area to divert water away. They may also recommend replacing only the affected posts with concrete-set galvanized steel or composite sleeves, then integrating the repair into a broader redesign—like adding a raised planter bed or a gravel border to improve airflow and reduce future moisture contact. This targeted solution saves money and extends the life of your fence.
We want a fence for privacy along our back property line, but the neighbor’s yard is higher and water pools there. Can landscaping address both the fence and drainage issues?
Absolutely. When a retaining wall is needed to manage grade differences, a landscape designer can combine it with a privacy fence. For example, a low concrete or stone wall can hold back the neighbor’s soil, and fence panels can be mounted on top of the wall to give you the height you need. A surface drain or French drain can be added along the base to route standing water away, protecting both the fence and your yard. This integrated approach solves the fencing need and the drainage problem at the same time.
My fence posts were set in concrete a few years ago, but now they’re heaving and uneven. Is there a landscape solution that prevents this?
Frost heave is a sign that posts weren’t set below the frost line or that the concrete base trapped water. A landscape designer can evaluate the soil and recommend replacing the affected posts using a gravel-and-sand backfill instead of concrete, which allows water to drain and reduces heaving. They can also redesign the fence layout to follow the natural slope of your yard, using stepped panels or sleeper rails to keep the fence level without fighting the ground. This approach prioritizes long-term stability over quick fixes.
