A&M Clearing - Newville's Local Fence Builders

Gate sag usually happens when hinges wear out or the gate’s weight pulls the posts out of plumb over time. Loose soil and moisture around the post base can make this worse. A&M Clearing can excavate around the post, set it deeper with concrete, and adjust the gate alignment. If a tree root or stump is pushing the post out of position, we can remove the stump and dig a new post hole to get the gate swinging straight again.

Look for small mud tubes on fence rails, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, or sawdust piles near posts. Termites often work from the ground up, so fence posts in contact with soil are most vulnerable. A&M Clearing can remove any trees or stumps near the fence that may be harboring termites, grind out infested stumps, and clear the area for new posts. After removal, we can excavate the post holes for a replacement section using treated or termite-resistant wood.

Yes. Overhanging limbs can rub against your fence in high wind, scraping off paint and creating entry points for moisture and insects. Fallen branches also can break fence rails. A&M Clearing’s pruning service trims back branches that touch or overhang your fence, reducing the risk of damage. We also check for dead or weak limbs near the fence line and remove them before they cause problems.
