White Center chain link fence repair — Landscape Repair
Homeowner’s Issue
Seattle’s rain and compacted glacial soils are tough on chain‑link fences in White Center. Heavy winter rains and poor drainage at low points cause posts to sink, galvanized links to rust, and gates to sag. Many yards here sit on slopes or clay-heavy soil that holds water, encouraging moss, weeds, and rot at the base of posts. Add wind‑blown debris from nearby Westcrest Park and tight lot lines in the Highline area, and small fence problems can become safety or privacy issues fast.
Homeowners typically call when they see leaning posts, loose bottom rails, or gaps that let pets slip through. Curb appeal matters in these neighborhoods — a tidy fence makes a small yard feel cared for and can keep ivy and blackberry from jumping the line. We focus on sustainable Landscape Repair solutions that improve drainage, correct post depth, and stabilize slopes so you get longer‑lasting results with less maintenance between visits.
Our Quality Service
We assess the whole fence line, not just the obvious damage. That means checking post depth, soil drainage, gate alignment, and adjacent planting that may be undermining structure. For Landscape Repair we favor sustainable fixes: better drainage, crushed rock footings, galvanized replacements, and mechanical fasteners — no herbicides.
Benefits:
- Safer boundaries for kids and pets.
- Improved curb appeal in White Center and nearby West Seattle streets.

- Solutions designed for local rainfall and clay soils.

Options / Upgrades:

Before & After / Expectations
Expect some noise from cutting and post‑driving equipment and a few hours of work for typical sections. We’ll protect nearby plants and leave the yard tidy, but temporary disturbance and soil moving are normal. Access to the fence line and a clear work path make jobs faster.
Care tips after repair:
- Keep a 6–12” mulch or gravel strip along the fence to limit weeds and moisture against posts.
- Inspect gates seasonally for sagging after heavy rains.
- Pull invasive ivy or blackberry a few times a year to avoid pressure on the mesh.
