Q&A

Why are my fence posts leaning or heaving after winter in St. Paul?

St. Paul's frequent freeze-thaw cycles cause the ground to expand and contract, which can push fence posts upward or tilt them. At A&A Design Fencing, we prevent this by setting posts below the frost line (at least 48 inches deep) and using concrete footings with gravel bases for drainage. This keeps your fence stable even after Minnesota's harshest winters.

What is the best fence material for St. Paul's cold, wet climate?

For St. Paul's climate, we recommend cedar (naturally rot-resistant) or galvanized steel (rust-proof). Avoid untreated pine, as it warps from moisture. Our team in St. Paul often installs composite vinyl that won't crack in freezing temps. We help you pick a material that suits your neighborhood, whether near Como Park or downtown.

How do I know if my gate is damaged from soil movement, and can you fix it?

Signs include sagging hinges, a gate that sticks, or gaps at the bottom. In St. Paul's shifting soil, we see this often in older gates. Our solution is to realign posts, add adjustable hinges, and reinforce the gate frame with cross-bracing. We're located near the State Capitol, so we can quickly assess and repair your gate.
