Structure Landscapes NW | Experienced Fence Contractors in Portland, OR

Portland's frequent rain can cause wood rot, rust, and fading on fences and gates. We address this by using rot-resistant materials like cedar or pressure-treated wood, applying high-quality stains or paints with UV and moisture protection, and sealing all joints and posts. For existing fences, we repair damaged sections, replace hardware, and reapply weatherproofing coatings to extend their lifespan. Our team also ensures proper drainage around fence posts to prevent water pooling.

As a Certified Landscape Professional/Designer/Builder, I bring a comprehensive design approach that ensures your patio or walkway integrates seamlessly with your landscape. We consider drainage, soil conditions, and local plant life to prevent settling or cracking. For example, in Portland's clay-heavy soils, we may use base layers of crushed rock and proper sloping to manage rainwater. Our experience with materials like flagstone, concrete, and pavers ensures a durable, aesthetically pleasing result that lasts through Oregon's seasons.

Absolutely. Our designs are influenced by the region's natural beauty, using materials like cedar, stone, and native plants. For fences, we can create styles that blend with wooded properties or urban gardens, such as horizontal slat fences for a modern look or split-rail fences for a rustic feel. We also offer staining options in earthy tones that complement the surrounding landscape. Our goal is to make the fence feel like a natural extension of your property.
