FAQs
How do you handle fence posts that keep leaning or shifting in Arlington's soil?
Arlington's clay soils can expand and contract with moisture, which often causes fence posts to shift or lean. We address this by using concrete footings that extend below the frost line and ensuring good drainage around the base. For existing leaning posts, we assess the soil conditions, then re-set them with proper anchors. This is a common issue in neighborhoods near Lake Arlington and the Viridian community, and we’ve found that proper installation techniques prevent future movement.
Do you provide disease and insect management for oak trees common in Arlington?
Yes, we offer disease and insect management for trees, including the live oaks and red oaks common across Arlington. Our approach includes identifying the specific issue—such as oak wilt or aphid infestations—and applying targeted treatments. We also recommend preventive care like regular pruning and cabling to reduce stress on the tree. If you have a tree near the UT Arlington campus or along the Johnson Creek corridor showing signs of decline, we can assess it and create a care plan.
Can you install a fence and also remove a large tree in the same visit?
We can. Since our team handles both tree removal and fence installation, we can coordinate the work efficiently. For example, if a tree on your property needs to come down before a new fence is put in, we can do the removal, grind the stump, and then proceed with setting posts and building the fence. This saves you time and ensures the fence line is clear. We’ve done this for properties near the Lincoln Square shopping center and the neighborhoods off I-20.
