Experienced Fence Contractors in Dardanelle, AR 72834 - B K Land Solutions

Look for hollow-sounding wood when tapped, small holes with sawdust, or visible mud tubes along fence posts. In Dardanelle's humid climate, termites often attack posts near the ground. If you notice sagging sections or a gate that won't close properly, termites may have weakened the structure.

Loose backfill allows posts to shift, especially after rain. We use proper compaction and sometimes add gravel for drainage. This keeps posts stable, reducing stress on gates and latches. For termite-damaged posts, we excavate the old post, treat the soil if needed, then backfill and compact fresh soil for a solid foundation.

Yes, we often repair or replace just the latch. However, if the gate post is termite-damaged or misaligned, we may need to excavate and reset the post first. We assess the cause—latch failure, post movement, or both—and provide a targeted solution to save you money.
