Top-Rated Fencing Company in Gresham, OR 97080 - Elite Outdoor Services

In Gresham, the frequent rain and high humidity create constantly damp soil, which accelerates wood decay. Poor drainage around fence posts traps moisture against the wood, leading to rot. Untreated softwood species like pine are especially vulnerable, and moss buildup can further trap water against the posts.

Look for leaning posts, cracked or splitting rails, soft or spongy wood at the base, visible moss or fungus growth, and difficulty opening or closing gates. In Gresham, you may also notice posts that wiggle easily in wet soil—a sign the wood has rotted below ground level.

We remove the damaged post and surrounding soil, then set a new pressure-treated or cedar post in compacted gravel for drainage. For extreme moisture, we install concrete footings with a slight slope to shed water. We also offer wood preservatives to extend the life of remaining sections. Our solutions are tailored to Gresham's specific soil conditions.
