Anderson, Tod M | Trusted Fence Installation in Lubbock, TX

Fence post erosion in Lubbock is often caused by heavy clay soils that expand and contract with moisture, plus wind-driven rain that can wash away backfill over time. To prevent it, we set posts in concrete with a gravel base for drainage and apply weatherproofing sealants. Proper installation and annual inspections catch early signs of shifting or rot before they become major problems.

Signs that your fence needs weatherproofing or painting include fading color, peeling or cracking paint, visible wood grain raised from moisture, or dark spots where water sits. In Lubbock’s sunny and windy climate, we recommend checking fences every spring. If you notice any of these issues, a fresh coat of stain or paint and a sealant can protect against sun damage, moisture, and wind erosion.

For a shifted fence post, we first assess if the post is rotted or just loose. If the post is still sound, we can remove the soil, reset the post with concrete, and add a gravel base to improve drainage. For severely shifted posts, replacement is often the best long-term solution. We then weatherproof the new post to prevent future issues from Lubbock’s clay soils and wind.
