Look for soft or spongy spots at the base of wooden posts, peeling paint or stain, and dark, damp areas where vines or shrubs touch the fence. If you see mushrooms growing near the wood or notice loose pickets, moisture and plant growth are likely breaking down the structure.

We assess the extent of the rot first. For localized damage, we remove the affected wood and splice in new material, then seal and stain the area. If the rot weakens whole sections or posts, we recommend fence repair or partial replacement. After repairs, we apply weatherproofing treatments to slow future moisture damage.

Yes. Ficus roots, bamboo, and climbing vines can lift fence posts, warp rails, and strain gate hinges. We often see automatic gates that won’t close properly because a nearby shrub has shifted the post. Our solution is to trim back the plants, reset the post or gate, and re-grade or install a root barrier to keep the structure stable.
