Commercial Fencing Wilsonville AL | Call Smith Land Management

Look for thin, blistered, or peeling wood, small holes in the fence boards, and sawdust-like frass near the base. You might also notice hollow-sounding wood when tapped. In Wilsonville, humidity can accelerate rot and attract termites, so regular inspections are key. If you spot these signs, Smith Land Management can assess the damage and recommend fence replacement or repairs to prevent further infestation.

Yes, large tree roots can grow under fence posts, causing them to shift, lean, or crack. In Wilsonville, where clay soils are common, this is a frequent issue. To prevent it, keep trees at least 10 feet from fence lines and consider root barriers during installation. If you already have damage, Smith Land Management can remove affected trees, grind stumps, and install a new fence that's properly positioned to avoid future root interference.

Wood rot from high humidity often starts at the base of posts and bottom boards. For minor rot, we can replace individual boards and apply a weather-resistant sealant. For extensive damage, a full fence replacement with pressure-treated wood or composite materials may be more durable. Smith Land Management also offers earthmoving and regrading to improve drainage around your fence line, reducing moisture buildup and preventing future rot.
