Fencing Company Slidell LA | Call Superior Complete Lawn Care

For Slidell’s humidity, pressure-treated pine and cedar are common choices because they resist moisture and decay. Aluminum and vinyl also perform well for gates and automatic gate installations because they won’t warp or rust. The team at Superior Complete Lawn Care can recommend the best material based on your property’s sun exposure, proximity to drainage areas, and your desired level of maintenance.

Vegetation like ivy, bamboo, and overgrown shrubs can trap moisture against fence panels, causing rot and loosening boards. We first clear all growth from the fence line, then assess any existing damage. For posts that have shifted due to root pressure, we reset and brace them. After repairs, we apply a protective stain or paint to seal the wood. We also advise on keeping a clearance zone between plants and the fence to prevent future issues.

In most cases a leaning gate can be repaired without replacing the entire structure. The problem is often a sagging hinge, a warped frame, or a post that has shifted in the soil. Our team evaluates the cause, tightens hardware, reinforces the frame, and re-anchors the post if needed. For automatic gates, we also check the operator and track alignment. A full replacement is only recommended if the wood is extensively rotted or the gate frame is beyond repair.
