Fence Installation Boise ID | Call Ludd Construction

Boise's seasonal snowmelt and frequent lawn irrigation create consistently damp soil around fence posts. Over time, moisture seeps into untreated wood, leading to rot and instability. This is especially common in low-lying areas near the Boise River or in neighborhoods with clay-heavy soil.

Look for signs like leaning sections, soft or crumbly wood at ground level, or a musty smell around the base. You might also notice the fence wobbling when pushed. If you see any of these, it's wise to have a carpenter inspect the posts before they fail completely.

Our carpenters remove the damaged post and dig out the old concrete footing. We replace it with a pressure-treated post set in a gravel base for drainage, then secure it with fresh concrete. This method prevents future moisture buildup and extends the life of your fence by years.
