Premier Landscaping | Professional Fence Builders in Chelsea, AL

Leaning posts are usually a sign that the soil around the post base has become oversaturated and lost its grip. In Chelsea's clay-heavy soil, water can pool and soften the ground. Premier Landscaping will assess the problem; often we can reset the post in concrete or install a wider base to prevent future movement. For severe cases, we recommend replacing the post and using weatherproofing techniques during installation.

Look for small holes in the wood, sawdust-like frass at the base, or wood that sounds hollow when tapped. Termites are active in the Chelsea area, so it's important to catch damage early. Premier Landscaping can replace compromised sections with pressure-treated lumber. For ongoing protection, we can apply a weatherproofed stain that helps deter pests and prevent future infestations.

Yes, we offer both painting and staining for fences and gates. Staining often provides better weatherproofing by penetrating the wood, which is especially helpful in our humid climate. We'll clean and prep the surface, then apply a high-quality finish that seals against moisture. Routine weatherproofing can extend the life of your fence by years and reduce the risk of leaning or rot.
