Questions and Answers
What causes wooden fences in Silver Spring to lean or rot so quickly?
The main cause is moisture. Silver Spring’s humid summers and wet winters, combined with freeze-thaw cycles, cause wooden posts to rot at the ground line. Ground contact accelerates decay, especially if the fence wasn’t installed with pressure-treated lumber or concrete footings. Our solution is to set posts in concrete with gravel at the base for drainage, and we use rot-resistant woods like cedar or high-quality vinyl that won’t swell or crack in our local climate.
How do I know if my fence posts need to be replaced rather than just repaired?
A clear sign is when a post feels spongy or crumbles at the base when you push on the fence. Also, if the entire fence section leans more than 2-3 inches from vertical, the posts likely have structural rot inside. We check by probing the base with a screwdriver—if it sinks in more than half an inch, replacement is needed. Setting new posts deeper (at least 30 inches) and widening the concrete base prevents the issue from recurring.
Can you install a privacy fence that also matches the look of an existing patio cover or deck?
Absolutely. We custom-build fences and gate designs that coordinate with your existing patio cover and landscaping. For example, if you have a stained cedar pergola, we can match the stain and board style for a cohesive look. We also offer horizontal slat fences that complement modern patio covers, and we can attach privacy screens directly to posts without damaging the cover. Our goal is a seamless outdoor space that feels intentional, not patched together.
