Bay Area Lions Gate: Professional Fencing Company Serving San Jose, CA 95113

The main cause is soil erosion from San Jose's clay-rich soil and seasonal rains. When the ground becomes saturated, the soil around the post loses its grip, causing the post to shift. We fix this by removing the old post, digging down to stable soil, and setting the new post in concrete with gravel at the base for drainage. This solution, combined with our fence installation and repair services, keeps your fence stable through wet and dry seasons alike.

Yes, gaps between boards often indicate that your fence posts are moving or the soil is eroding around the base. This is a common local issue in neighborhoods near downtown San Jose and the Rose Garden. If left unchecked, it can lead to leaning sections and even collapse. Our fence repair service can identify the root cause—whether post movement or soil washout—and restore the alignment and spacing for a tight, secure fence.

Absolutely. Soil erosion often affects automatic gates because heavy gate motors put extra stress on posts. If the soil shifts or washes away, the gate may bind, sag, or fail to close properly. Our automatic gate repair includes inspecting the foundation and re-setting the post if needed. We pair this with drainage improvements to prevent future erosion, ensuring your gate operates smoothly and lasts longer.
