J&M Outdoor Services | Experienced Residential Fencing in The Dalles, OR

The most common causes are the strong winds that funnel through the Columbia River Gorge, which can loosen posts and blow over panels. Combined with winter moisture and occasional snow loads, wood fences often rot at the base or warp over time. Poor drainage in some yards also accelerates ground rot at the post bottoms.

Look for leaning sections, rotting posts that are soft at ground level, or multiple cracked and missing boards. If more than 30% of your fence is damaged or if the posts are unstable, replacement is usually more cost-effective than patching. A quick inspection after a storm is a good habit.

We offer two solutions: dumpster rental for large-scale tear-outs where you need to dispose of entire fence sections, and junk pickup for smaller amounts of debris. We deliver the dumpster to your driveway or jobsite, and for junk pickup we load and haul away the old fencing, posts, and any mixed yard waste. We handle disposal properly so you can focus on building a new fence.
