Reliable Commercial Fencing in Portland, OR 97224 - S & M Green Hands

Portland’s wet soil and freeze-thaw cycles can cause ground movement, while large tree roots from species like maples or firs can push against fence posts. Overhanging branches also add weight and moisture, weakening the structure over time. At S & M Green Hands, we inspect both the tree and fence to identify the root cause.

Look for visible cracks in fence boards, posts tilting away from the tree, or roots lifting the soil near the base. If branches rub against the fence, they can scrape paint and cause wear. Our team can assess tree health and recommend pruning, root management, or fence realignment to prevent further damage.

First, we address the tree issue—whether it’s pruning back branches, cabling for support, or removing a hazardous tree. Then, we repair or replace the fence section, ensuring proper post placement away from root zones. For ongoing prevention, we offer tree care plans that include regular inspections and root barrier installation.
