3 Acre Fence - Greencastle's Experienced Wood and Vinyl Fencing

The main cause is poor soil drainage combined with seasonal frost heave. Greencastle's clay soil retains water, which expands when frozen and pushes posts upward, leading to uneven or leaning fences. Inadequate excavation for posts also contributes to instability.

Common signs include visibly leaning posts, cracks in the soil around posts, gates that stick or drag, and uneven fence lines. You may also notice pooled water near the fence after rain, indicating poor drainage that requires trenching to redirect water away.

We dig precise trenches for post footings, ensuring they reach below the frost line and are set in compacted gravel for drainage. Our excavation removes problematic soil and allows for proper backfilling, which prevents water pooling and frost heave, giving you a fence that stays straight and durable for years.
