Fencing Company Santa Barbara CA | Call Sandoval Landscaping

In Santa Barbara, moisture and temperature changes can cause wooden fence posts to rot or expand, leading to sagging gates and warped panels. We address this by using galvanized steel post brackets or concrete-set posts to prevent ground moisture absorption. For gate sagging, we install heavy-duty hinges and adjust the frame to ensure proper alignment. We also recommend periodic inspections and treatments to extend fence life.

We recommend drought-tolerant native plants like California lilac (Ceanothus), manzanita, and sage, which thrive in our Mediterranean climate. For disease and insect management, we use integrated pest management (IPM) techniques, including proper pruning for airflow and targeted treatments. Our maintenance includes regular trimming, fertilization, and monitoring for pests like aphids or scale.

Yes, we specialize in tree transplanting using root ball preservation and careful handling. For smaller trees, we use a tree spade; for larger specimens, we excavate a sufficient root ball and wrap it in burlap. We also advise on the best time of year (dormant season) and post-transplant watering schedules to minimize shock.
