A common cause of premature rot is the combination of clay-heavy soil and overspray from lawn irrigation systems, which keeps wood damp. At Green Valley, we first inspect the affected posts and remove rotted sections. We set new posts in concrete with a gravel base to improve drainage, and we use pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact. If the problem is widespread, we can recommend composite or vinyl alternatives that resist moisture better in Meridian's climate.

Signs of a sagging gate usually stem from frost heave shifting the gate posts or rusted hinges. The solution involves checking if the gate frame is still square. We often adjust the hinges, re-set the post if it's loose, or install an anti-sag kit. For heavier wood gates, we may add a wheel or replace the gate hardware. In most cases, we can get your gate swinging freely the same day without needing a full replacement.

Many fences in Meridian's open areas, like those near Ten Mile Creek, suffer from strong gusts. The best solution is to secure the rails to the posts with screw-driven fasteners instead of staples or nails. Also, check that pickets are nailed or screwed through the center of the rail. Adding wind breaks, like shrubs or lattice, on the windward side helps. For existing loose sections, we reinforce the connections and replace any rotted rails to ensure your fence stays sturdy during storm season.
