Peoples Champ Lawn & Landscape | Professional Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Kent, WA

Leaning fence posts are often caused by waterlogged soil from heavy rain, which loosens the ground around the post base. Vegetation like blackberries or ivy can also push posts out of alignment. Peoples Champ Lawn & Landscape addresses this by digging out the affected post, setting it in fresh concrete, and sometimes adding a gravel base for drainage to prevent future leaning.

Signs include vines wrapping around pickets causing warping, rotting wood where plants touch, or gaps where roots have pushed panels. In Kent, overgrown shrubs near fences are a common issue. We recommend annual inspections and trimming back vegetation. Peoples Champ provides removal of invasive plants and can seal or replace damaged sections to restore your fence's integrity.

If tree roots have lifted or cracked your fence panels, the best solution is to remove the affected section, cut back the roots (if safe for the tree), and reinstall the fence with root barriers. For severe cases, we may recommend relocating the fence line or using concrete footings to bypass root zones. Peoples Champ Lawn & Landscape handles these repairs with minimal disruption to your landscaping.
