Andres Landscaping - Austin's Professional Residential Fencing

Austin’s clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, which can loosen fence posts over time. Heavy rain can also wash away soil around the base. To prevent erosion, we recommend setting posts in concrete with proper drainage, using weatherproofed wood or metal, and adding gravel or a French drain. Andres Landscaping can inspect your fence and install new posts or reinforce existing ones to keep your fence stable.

Look for visible gaps between panels, sagging sections, or nails that have popped out. You might also notice that the gate doesn’t latch properly or that the fence wobbles when you push it. If you see any of these signs, it’s best to address them early to avoid more damage. Andres Landscaping can tighten, replace, or reinforce loose panels and ensure your fence is secure.

Yes, tree roots can push against fence posts or lift concrete footings, causing leaning or cracking. If you notice a fence post shifting near a tree, the roots may be the cause. Andres Landscaping can assess the situation—sometimes we can prune roots safely or recommend tree removal if the tree is too close. We also offer tree transplanting to relocate a tree away from your fence line.
