Life on the Hedge Landscaping and Fence: Expert Commercial Fencing Serving Oregon City, OR 97045

Oregon City's frequent rain and high humidity cause moisture to seep into untreated wood, leading to rot and decay, especially near the ground. We address this by replacing rotted sections with pressure-treated or cedar wood, installing proper drainage at the base, and applying a weather-resistant sealant. We also recommend regular inspections after heavy storms to catch damage early.

Signs include leaning posts, cracked rails, and loose boards that don't hold up to wind or rain. If less than 30% of your fence is damaged, we can often repair it by replacing individual boards and resetting posts. But if rot has spread to the foundation or the structure is unstable, full replacement with a durable material like vinyl or metal is more cost-effective long-term.

Absolutely. We work with Oregon City homeowners to verify property lines using survey markers and local plat maps before setting any posts. If there's uncertainty, we recommend getting a professional survey first to avoid disputes. We then install fences that respect boundaries while addressing privacy and security needs common in neighborhoods like Park Place.

Vinyl and powder-coated aluminum are top choices because they resist rust and rot, unlike wood. They handle the moisture and temperature swings near the Willamette River well. We also offer cedar with proper sealing for a natural look, but it requires more maintenance. Our team can assess your yard's exposure and budget to recommend the best option.
