Question Answers
How do you handle fence post instability from Temple’s soil movement?
Temple’s clay soils expand and contract with moisture, often causing fence posts to shift. We set posts with concrete below the frost line and use gravel at the base for drainage, which reduces movement. For existing unstable posts, we re-set them with bracing and sometimes add post anchors. This approach has worked well for homes near Lake Belton and in neighborhoods like Wildflower Country.
Can you install an automatic gate for a residential property in Temple?
Yes, we install automatic gates for both residential and commercial properties. We handle the full setup, including gate operators, sensors, and safety features. Our team coordinates with the contractor referral network if electrical work is needed. Many clients near Santa Fe Plaza have chosen sliding or swing gates for added security and convenience.
How often should I weatherproof my fence to prevent heat cracking?
In Temple’s hot climate, we recommend weatherproofing every two to three years. The intense sun can dry out wood, leading to cracks and splits. We use high-quality stains with UV protection and sealers that flex with temperature changes. Regular maintenance, especially after a dry summer, extends the life of your fence significantly.
