Wood and Vinyl Fencing Montgomery AL | Call 5star fence and excavation service

Montgomery's heavy clay soil retains water, leading to poor drainage around fence posts. Over time, this water buildup softens the soil, causing posts to shift and rot. Our excavation services can improve drainage by adding French drains or grading the land to direct water away, preventing erosion before it starts.

If your gate is sticking, misaligned, or the lock doesn't catch properly, it may be because the fence post has shifted from erosion. Check for damp ground around the post or visible rust on the lock mechanism. We recommend a thorough inspection and, if needed, trench digging to redirect water and stabilize the post.

Excavation allows us to reshape the soil around your fence line, creating slopes that channel water away from posts. We can also install gravel beds or drainage pipes during trench digging to keep the post base dry. This simple solution extends the life of your fence and ensures your gate operates smoothly for years.
