A R Merryman Services - Phoenixville's Professional Privacy Fence Installation

In Phoenixville, the primary cause is often root growth from nearby trees or storm damage. Heavy winds and rain can weaken fence posts, especially if tree roots have disturbed the soil. Additionally, rotting wood from moisture buildup is common in our local climate.

Signs include visible cracks in the trunk, leaning toward your fence, dead branches, or exposed roots that are lifting the fence panels. If you notice any of these, it's best to have a professional assess the tree to prevent damage to your fence or property.

Our recommended approach is to first safely remove the tree and any debris. Then, we assess the fence for structural integrity. Often, replacing damaged sections with pressure-treated wood or vinyl works best. We also reinforce the post footings to prevent future issues from nearby tree roots.
