Neat & Tidy Landscaping | Trusted Fence Installation in Seattle, WA

Seattle's damp climate causes wood to absorb moisture, leading to swelling and warping. This is especially common with untreated or low-grade lumber. Neat & Tidy Landscaping recommends using pressure-treated wood, cedar, or composite materials for fences. We also ensure proper spacing and drainage during installation to minimize moisture buildup.

In Seattle, gate latch failures are often due to moisture causing metal to rust, or the gate post shifting in wet soil. It could also be misaligned if the hinge side has sagged. Our team inspects the entire gate assembly, replaces corroded latches with stainless steel options, and re-secures posts or hinges to ensure a snug, lasting fit.

Yes, in many cases. Sagging gates often result from loose hinges, a leaning post, or warped boards. Neat & Tidy Landscaping can tighten or replace hinges, reinforce the post with concrete, and trim or replace individual warped boards. This is a cost-effective solution that restores function without a full fence replacement.
