Fence Installation & Repair in Roanoke, TX | Back40 Fence Company

Roanoke’s soil contains high amounts of clay that expands when wet and contracts during dry spells. This constant movement loosens the ground around fence posts, causing them to lean or sink. Over time, moisture trapped at the base can also rot wooden posts. Back40 Fence Company combats this by setting posts below the frost line and using gravel backfill to improve drainage and reduce soil contact.

Look for leaning sections, gaps between the post and the ground, or a spongy feel when you push on the fence. You might also see exposed concrete footings or cracks in the soil around the base. If your gate drags or won’t latch properly, that’s another clue. Back40 can inspect your fence and recommend repairs like re-setting posts or adding weatherproofing treatments.

We remove the loose post, dig a wider hole, and set it in a concrete collar with a gravel base for drainage. For existing fences, we can install post anchors or braces to stabilize leaning posts without full replacement. We also offer weatherproofing services, like applying sealants or stains, to protect wood from moisture and extend the life of your fence in Roanoke’s changing conditions.
