Me-Moes Lawn and Landscape - Baton Rouge's Local Fence Installation

Our heavy clay soil and frequent rain keep moisture against wood posts, which speeds up rot. You may first notice the gate sagging or the post leaning. At Me-Moes Lawn and Landscape, we dig out the rotted post, set a new treated-wood post in concrete (with a gravel base for drainage), and reattach the fence panels. For metal posts, we inspect for rust from the ground up and prime-and-paint affected areas before the rust eats through.

Look for boards that splinter, soft spots when you walk, or loose railings. If the main structure (joists and beams) is still solid, we can replace damaged decking and upgrade fasteners. But if the support posts are shifting in wet ground or the joists are rotting, a full deck replacement is safer. We’ll inspect your deck near places like Perkins Rowe or Sherwood Forest and give you an honest recommendation—no upselling.

Yes. The key is catching rust early and keeping the fence dry. After we repair rust patches with a wire brush, rust converter, and weatherproof paint, we recommend applying a clear sealant each year before the rainy season. For new metal fences near Old Jefferson or along the Comite River, we install them with a slight gap at the bottom so water drains away, which stops rust from starting at the posts and rails.
