Local Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Puyallup, WA 98374 - Northwest Seasons Landscaping

Our wet climate and heavy clay soils are the main culprit. Water pools around the base of wooden posts, trapping moisture against the wood year-round. Over time, this leads to soft, spongy decay at ground level. At Northwest Seasons Landscaping, we solve this by excavating the old post, setting new pressure-treated or rot-resistant cedar posts in a gravel base for drainage, and backfilling with fast-drying concrete. This keeps moisture away from the wood fibers and extends the life of your fence significantly.

A loose rail often points to the connection points—either the nails have rusted through, or the posts they attach to have begun to rot inside. It’s a common warning sign we see in Puyallup. Ignoring it can let the whole section sag or fall during a windstorm. We inspect the rail end and the post pocket, then re-secure it with galvanized screws or replace a damaged section of the rail. If the post itself is compromised, we address that first so the repair holds tight for years.

Absolutely. That’s the whole idea behind a full-service company like ours. Whether you live near Wildwood Park or on 112th Street East, we can send a crew to mow, trim, and blow your lawn while another crew member replaces a rotted fence post or tightens a loose gate rail. It saves you the hassle of coordinating two separate contractors. Just let us know what you need when you call, and we’ll build a single visit around every task on your property.
