Local Fencing Company in Carpentersville, IL 60110 - Alex’s Landscaping and Fencing

Leaning fence posts are often caused by soil erosion or improper installation, especially after heavy rains or freeze-thaw cycles common in Illinois. At Alex’s Landscaping and Fencing, we assess the site, regrade the area to improve drainage, and reset the posts with concrete footings. For severe cases, we may install a retaining wall to prevent future shifting. Our team ensures your fence stands straight and secure.

Fence staining failure usually results from moisture trapped beneath the stain due to high humidity or direct sunlight exposure. In Carpentersville, we recommend using a high-quality, weather-resistant stain and applying it when temperatures are moderate. Our landscape maintenance services include proper cleaning and preparation of the wood before staining. If the stain has already failed, we can strip it, sand the surface, and reapply a durable finish that lasts longer in our local climate.

Yes, tree roots can push against fence posts, causing them to lean or crack. Our tree care services include root pruning and transplanting to redirect growth away from fences. We also design irrigation systems that keep soil moisture balanced, reducing root expansion. If damage has already occurred, we can repair or replace the affected section and install a root barrier during regrading. This proactive approach protects your fence and landscape.
