Unique Carpentry That Extends Your Fence's Lifespan
Western Washington ground stays saturated from October through May. Without proper installation engineering, standard wood posts rot at the soil line in under a decade. Here is how we engineer fences that last 20–25+ years.
Wood Posts with Metal Footings
Traditional posts rotted within 8–12 years because wet Washington soil stays soaked through winter. Light Rock offers heavy galvanized steel post brackets (Simpson/Post Protector) or elevated concrete collars that keep cedar posts lifted above groundwater. Your post stays dry, rigid, and sound for decades.
Proper Spacing & Deep Footings
We dig minimum 24-to-30-inch deep post holes with wide bell bottoms and set every post in solid concrete. We space posts accurately at 6 or 8 feet maximum to prevent wind racking during heavy Puget Sound storms.
Clean Jobsite: Zero Nails Left Behind
When we tear out an old fence, thousands of rusted nails and staples fall into the grass. Light Rock runs industrial magnetic sweepers across your entire lawn, driveway, and flowerbeds so dogs, kids, and car tires stay 100% safe.
Full Tear-Out & Haul-Away
No leaving rotten wood in your driveway or expecting you to hire a dumpster. Our crew removes old posts, concrete slugs, and broken pickets, hauling everything away to proper recycling and disposal facilities.
