Ari's & Griss Fence - Carrollton's Best Commercial Fencing

The main cause is Carrollton's expansive clay soil, which swells when wet and shrinks during dry spells, heaving fence posts out of alignment. Signs include leaning sections, loose gates, and visible gaps at the bottom of the fence. At Ari's & Griss Fence, we solve this by setting posts on a deeper concrete base—typically 12 to 18 inches below the frost line—and using gravel at the bottom for drainage. This anchors the post below the active soil zone, keeping your fence straight and stable year-round.

Yes, we can. When wind-damaged sections are isolated, we often replace only the affected pickets or rails rather than the entire fence. First, we inspect the remaining structure for hidden cracks or loosened nails. Then we remove damaged boards and install new pressure-treated or cedar replacements, matching the existing spacing and stain. We also recommend adding extra bracing or wind clips for future storms. This targeted repair saves you money while restoring both privacy and curb appeal.

For driveways exposed to Carrollton's gusty winds, a slide gate is usually the most reliable option. It rolls horizontally along a track rather than swinging open, so wind pressure doesn't strain the hinges or the operator. We typically install heavy-duty galvanized slide gates with a buried track and a backup battery system. If a swing gate is preferred due to space, we can reinforce the frame and use a hydraulic opener that locks securely even in high winds. Either way, we'll assess your property's wind exposure during the free consultation.
