Fence Builders Tacoma WA | Call Fresh Lawn Landscaping

Tacoma’s frequent rain and heavy clay soil often lead to water pooling around fence posts, causing the wood to rot and the ground to shift. Over time, this erosion weakens post stability, resulting in leaning or misaligned fences. Fresh Lawn Landscaping addresses this by regrading the area to improve drainage and using pressure-treated posts or concrete footings to prevent future damage.

Look for visible gaps between fence panels, a noticeable lean in one or more sections, or soft, damp soil around the base of posts. You may also see cracked or sunken concrete at the post base. If you spot these signs, post erosion is likely the culprit. Our team can inspect the posts, recommend repairs, and seal or replace them to restore your fence’s alignment.

For sloped lots, we often install deeper concrete footings or use galvanized steel post anchors to resist soil movement. Pairing this with proper drainage—like adding French drains or regrading—keeps water away from the post. Fresh Lawn Landscaping also offers weatherproofing services, including applying wood sealants or using rot-resistant materials, to extend your fence’s lifespan.
