The primary cause is our region's freeze-thaw cycles, which heave the ground and slowly push posts out of alignment. Clay soils expand when wet and contract when dry, loosening the base of wooden or metal posts. With high winds common near the Palmer Divide, even a slightly loose post can lean noticeably. At Advanced Landscaping Solutions, we address this by digging deeper post holes (typically 36–48 inches), using gravel for drainage at the base, and setting posts in concrete that's mounded above grade to shed water. We also apply a waterproof barrier to prevent rot at the ground line.

Start by checking the posts—if more than two are rotten, cracked, or leaning over 10 degrees, replacement is usually more cost-effective than piecemeal repairs. Also, if the fence has widespread wood rot, rusted hardware, or missing pickets in multiple sections, a full replacement ensures consistent strength and appearance. However, if only a single panel is damaged or one gate is sagging, targeted repair is often possible. Our team does a free on-site inspection in neighborhoods like Briargate or Rockrimmon, and we explain exactly what we see. We never upsell unnecessary work—we’ll tell you honestly what will last.

Absolutely. In fact, integrating fence installation with landscape design is one of our specialties. For example, in a project near Cottonwood Creek Park, we installed a 6-foot cedar fence for privacy, then added a row of evergreen arborvitae along the fence line to create a sound buffer and soften the look. We also blended in native plantings like juniper and buffalograss, which require less water. This combination gave the homeowners both a secure boundary and a beautiful, low-maintenance landscape. We handle the entire process from design to grading, planting, and fence installation, ensuring everything works together harmoniously.
