Residential Fencing O'Fallon IL | Call Lawn & Order Landscape

Fence post rot is typically caused by constant moisture exposure, especially when wood is in direct contact with damp soil. In O’Fallon, our freeze-thaw cycles can also speed up decay as water expands and contracts within the wood. To prevent rot, we recommend using pressure-treated wood or metal posts, ensuring proper drainage around the base, and sealing the wood. Lawn & Order Landscape can help by removing rotting posts and replacing them with durable materials, plus we haul away the old junk.

Look for vertical splits, splintering, or gaps that appear after a cold snap. You might also notice that the fence becomes wobbly or that paint or stain is peeling. In O’Fallon, where winter temperatures fluctuate, these cracks can worsen quickly. If you see any of these signs, it’s best to address them early. Our team can inspect your fence, remove cracked sections, and install new wood or composite panels to withstand the local weather.
