York Outdoor Elements | Best Residential Fencing in Lake Oswego, OR

In Lake Oswego’s damp climate, constant moisture at the soil line leads to wood rot and fungal decay in fence posts. Our excavation service can precisely dig out the old, compromised post and the surrounding soil, often using trench digging techniques to minimize disturbance to your lawn or garden beds. Once the hole is cleared, we can help set a new post or concrete footer, and we can also install new artificial turf afterward to restore the area seamlessly.

Uneven turf near a fence often indicates that the underlying base or an old wooden fence post has shifted or rotted away, creating a void. York can assess and repair this by first using excavation to remove any deteriorated post or debris, then re-compacting the base. After that, we can perform artificial turf repair to re-stretch and secure the turf, and if needed, apply new infill to restore a smooth, level surface. It’s a two-step process that addresses the root cause.

We generally recommend planning the fence and turf installation together. Using York’s excavation and trench digging services, we can first dig precise post holes for the fence. After the posts are set, we can install the new artificial turf right up to the posts. This eliminates exposed soil at the post base, reducing moisture contact and rot. For the best results, we coordinate the sequence so that the turf’s base drainage system also directs water away from the fence line.
