Greater Improvements: Top-Rated Fence Builders Serving Corvallis, OR 97333

Corvallis's frequent rain and clay-heavy soil trap moisture against wood posts, leading to rot. Greater Improvements combats this through proper excavation, using techniques like digging deeper post holes and adding gravel for drainage. They also offer backfilling with compacted soil to reduce water pooling. Their expert installation ensures posts are set above ground level to minimize moisture contact, extending fence life.

Common signs include leaning posts, cracked concrete bases, gates that sag or stick, and visible soil erosion around posts. These often result from shifting wet soil or poor initial grading. Greater Improvements provides fence repair and regrading services, adjusting soil levels and reinforcing posts to restore stability and prevent future damage.

Both can work, but excavation is key regardless. Wood requires treated lumber and proper drainage, while metal (like aluminum) resists rot but needs stable posts. Greater Improvements can install either, using excavation and trench digging to create a solid foundation. They also offer painting/staining for wood to seal against moisture. For automatic gates, proper grading ensures smooth operation even in wet conditions.
