Trusted Fence Builders in Asheville, NC 28801 - Heavenly Scapes

It depends on the extent of the damage. Because of our high rainfall and clay soil, moisture wicks up from the ground into the posts. A common sign is a fence that leans or has a spongy feel at the base. For a few posts, we can often repair by replacing just those posts with pressure-treated lumber or setting them in concrete. However, if the rot has spread to the rails and panels, or if the fence is over 10 years old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire structure. We can visit your property, assess the damage to your specific fence, and give you a clear recommendation and quote.

This is a critical step that many homeowners overlook. The solution starts at the ground level. First, we ensure your grading slopes away from both the deck and the fence line. Then, for new deck construction, we always use galvanized post anchors or concrete footings that elevate the wood off the ground. For existing decks, we can add gravel drainage strips or install French drains to channel water away. For fences, we recommend setting posts in gravel rather than solid concrete to allow water to drain. Scheduling a professional lawn care and drainage consultation can pinpoint exactly where the water is pooling and how to fix it.

Absolutely. We offer deck construction, repair, and replacement alongside our fencing services. A common scenario we see here in Asheville is a homeowner wanting a new deck that matches the style of an existing fence, or vice versa. We can plan and build both simultaneously, ensuring consistent materials (like matching cedar or composite) and a unified look. Since we also handle lawn care, we can regrade the yard and install proper drainage at the same time, preventing future issues with moisture in the soil. It saves you time and money to have one crew handle the whole project.
