Commercial Fencing Tacoma WA | Call True Acres Landscape

Gate latch failures are often caused by sagging gate posts due to wet soil, or misalignment from shifting ground. Overgrown shrubs or vines can also interfere with the latch. At True Acres Landscape, we first diagnose the cause—whether it's an alignment issue, a post problem, or vegetation in the way. Our team can regrade the area for better drainage, adjust or replace the post, and prune or remove interfering shrubs. We also repair or replace the latch mechanism so your gate closes securely.

Fence mold and mildew thrive in Tacoma's damp climate, especially if the fence is shaded or near poor-draining soil. We address this by first improving airflow and sunlight exposure around the fence through strategic shrub pruning or tree thinning. We also regrade the ground to slope water away from the fence, preventing standing moisture. Our team can clean the mold safely and, if needed, apply a protective sealant. Routine landscape maintenance like keeping grass trimmed and plants away from the fence base reduces future mold growth.

We take a holistic approach. Our landscape design and construction services include proper drainage solutions (e.g., regrading, French drains) to keep water away from fence posts. We can build or repair retaining walls to stabilize sloped areas that might cause fence shifting. Our shrub and tree care—including pruning, removal, and transplanting—keeps vegetation from damaging your fence or gate. For new fence installations, we ensure proper post setting and alignment. We also offer ongoing landscape and irrigation maintenance to address issues before they become major repairs.
