Trusted Residential Fencing in Tucson, AZ 85710 - Above Avid

In Tucson's dry climate, wood can shrink and crack over time. For cracked boards, we replace them with pressure-treated lumber that resists warping. For fence posts that crack or rot at the base, we dig out the old post, set a new one in a concrete footing that extends below the frost line, and backfill with gravel for drainage. This prevents moisture from pooling around the post, a major cause of cracking. We also recommend periodic sealing to protect against sun damage.

Many cracks can be repaired without replacing the entire driveway. For hairline cracks, we use a polyurea or epoxy filler that bonds with the concrete. For larger cracks or uneven sections, we may need to remove and repour that area. We assess the driveway's overall condition—if there are multiple deep cracks or signs of sinking, a full replacement might be more cost-effective. We provide an itemized estimate so you can decide.

For Tucson's often expansive clay soils, we recommend using interlocking concrete blocks or natural stone. These materials allow for proper drainage and are less prone to cracking than poured concrete. We also install a gravel base and drainage pipe behind the wall to relieve hydrostatic pressure. This prevents the wall from bowing or collapsing. We have experience with walls in areas like the Catalina Foothills and the Tanque Verde Valley.
