Months of ground moisture quietly rot fence posts from below until a single storm forces them down. Charleston Fencing Pros installs resilient replacement fencing tailored specifically for Wadmalaw Island.
There is no need to guess the final cost of your new fence. At Charleston Fencing Pros, we provide clear, accurate quotes with absolutely no hidden fees. Our team will visit your property to assess the area and understand your exact requirements, whether it is a new wood, vinyl, privacy, pool, or chain link installation, or a fast repair after storm damage.

On Wadmalaw Island, the water table can sit near the surface for months at a time, and fence posts spend their service life soaked in it. The culprit is the Wadmalaw soil series, one of the poorest draining soils in the Lowcountry. Posts spend half their service life submerged in moisture. Add the salt air from the North Edisto River and Bohicket Creek, and hardware starts corroding faster than it would on inland lots.
Posts rotting at the base give way when winds hit a solid privacy panel. On Wadmalaw Island, where lots are open and tree canopy is scattered, that wind has room to build. The fence that looked fine early in the season is leaning months later, and the section that fell took several posts with it. Until it is replaced, pets get out, wildlife gets in, and anyone walking by has a clear view into your yard.
With the water table this high, a broken fence section does not just sit there, it keeps soaking up damage from the ground. Every Wadmalaw Island project begins with a close look at the soil. We check how deep the water table sits on your lot, how far you are from the marsh, and what the posts look like below the ground line. On this island, the damage is usually worse than it looks from the surface. Posts that still stand often have the same rot that brought down the section next to them. We tell you straight whether a targeted fix makes sense or whether the whole line needs to come out.
Powder coated aluminum is the go to for lots near the North Edisto River or Bohicket Creek because it will not corrode from the salt air that works on metal year round out here. Vinyl panels handle the humidity without any upkeep and work well for residential privacy on larger lots. For properties set back from the water where the exposure is less direct, pressure treated wood with a coastal rated stain holds up well. We match the material to your lot, not the other way around.

Much deeper than the standard depth most contractors use. The Wadmalaw soil series is poorly drained with a water table at or near the surface for up to six months a year. Standard post depth is not enough here. We set posts well below the saturated zone with concrete footings and gravel at the base for drainage so the posts stay anchored even when the ground is saturated.
Powder coated aluminum is the most corrosion resistant option for lots close to the salt air coming off the North Edisto River and Bohicket Creek. It will not rust, warp, or rot, and the open picket design sheds wind during storms. Vinyl is the second best choice for residential privacy on larger lots. We recommend based on your specific property and how close you sit to the water.
Two things work against them at the same time. The Wadmalaw soil series holds water at or near the surface for months each year, so posts sit in moisture even during dry spells. Add salt air coming off the North Edisto River and Bohicket Creek, and the combination eats through wood and metal hardware faster than either condition would on its own. Inland lots deal with one or the other. Wadmalaw lots deal with both.
