Question Answers
What causes a gate latch to fail in Olympia, and how can Kneeland Landscaping fix it?
In Olympia's wet climate, the most common cause of gate latch failure is rust and corrosion on the metal components. Wood swelling from moisture can also misalign the latch. Signs include a latch that sticks, won't catch, or is difficult to open. Our team can diagnose the issue, often by lubricating or adjusting the latch, replacing rusted hardware with stainless steel or galvanized options, or realigning the gate post. If the post itself is rotted, we'll replace it to ensure a secure, long-lasting fix.
My fence posts seem to be rotting at the base. What's the solution, and can you help with new installation?
Rotting at the base is a clear sign of moisture damage, often from ground contact or poor drainage. Over time, this weakens the entire fence. The solution is to replace the affected posts. At Kneeland Landscaping, we remove the rotted post and set a new, pressure-treated or cedar post in concrete, ensuring proper drainage away from the base. We can also install a complete new fence section if needed. Our landscape construction services include post replacement for all fence types, restoring your fence's stability and appearance.
After fixing my fence, can Kneeland Landscaping also help with the landscaping around it?
Absolutely. We often combine fence and gate repairs with landscaping improvements. For example, after replacing a rotted post, we can regrade the soil for better drainage to prevent future issues. Our team can also install new shrubs, trees, or a small retaining wall near the fence line. Whether you need irrigation repair for a nearby garden bed or a complete landscape redesign, we offer a full range of services from tree pruning to lawn care, making us a one-stop shop for your Olympia property.
