Precision D&L Landscaping | Reliable Fencing Company in Eugene, OR

Eugene's wet climate, with frequent rain and high soil moisture, is the main cause. The soil stays damp for long periods, promoting fungal growth and rot, especially in untreated wood posts. Our landscape design includes grading and drainage improvements to reduce moisture around fence bases.

Look for leaning sections, spongy wood near the ground, or cracks and splintering. You might also notice a musty smell or visible mold. If caught early, we can reinforce the posts or incorporate new ones into a redesigned landscape layout.

We design landscapes with proper grading to divert water away from fence lines, use gravel backfills for better drainage, and choose naturally rot-resistant materials like cedar or metal posts. Strategic planting of moisture-tolerant plants also helps manage soil dampness.
