Professional Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Madison, MS 39110 - GT Landscade Designs

High humidity and frequent rain in Madison accelerate wood rot, especially if fences are in shaded areas with poor airflow. Overhanging tree limbs can trap moisture and drop debris, further damaging the wood. Our tree care services trim back branches to increase sunlight and airflow, while our landscape maintenance keeps the area around the fence clear of damp leaves and soil.

Look for leaning posts, cracked rails, or loose pickets after a storm. Also check for soft spots or discoloration near the base, which indicate rot. If you notice tree limbs resting against the fence or roots pushing up the posts, it's a sign of underlying damage. We inspect both the fence and nearby trees to identify all issues before making repairs.

Yes, especially with large oaks or pines common in Madison. Roots can grow under fence posts and shift them over time, causing leaning or buckling. Our solution involves careful root pruning and, if needed, relocating the fence slightly. Combined with regular tree care to manage root growth, we help prevent future problems without harming the tree.
