Top-Rated Residential Fencing in Springfield, MO 65806 - 417 fencing and staining

Springfield's clay-heavy soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, causing fence posts to shift. Combined with frequent freeze-thaw cycles, this can loosen concrete footings or rot wood posts at ground level. We solve this by digging deeper post holes, using gravel for drainage, and setting posts with fast-setting concrete, ensuring stability even in our local weather.

Absolutely. Gate sag happens when hinges loosen or the frame twists due to moisture expansion. We reinforce the frame with galvanized corner brackets, use longer lag screws, and adjust the hinge placement. If the ground has settled, we can trim the gate bottom or install an anti-sag cable kit, ensuring it swings freely for years.
