Professional Commercial Fencing in Eugene, OR 97405 - R & R Earthboring & Fencing

Eugene’s rainy climate and heavy clay soils trap moisture against wood posts. Traditional poured concrete can actually hold water against the wood, accelerating rot. Earthboring creates a tighter fit with less water pooling, and we often use gravel or drainage to keep posts dry.

Look for leaning posts, cracks near the base, or soft wood that’s easy to poke. You might also see mushrooms or moss growing at ground level. If your gate is sagging or the fence wobbles, that’s a sign the posts are failing underneath.

Earthboring drills a precise hole that fits the post snugly, reducing space for water to collect. We can set the post on a stone base or use gravel backfill to improve drainage. This method also disturbs less soil, which helps your fence stay level and last years longer than a dug-and-poured post.
