Fencing Company Lewisville TX | Call B&B Multiservices

The main cause is soil movement. Lewisville's clay-rich soil expands when wet and contracts during dry spells, causing fence posts to shift. Our solution involves removing the leaning posts, digging deeper holes (at least 24-30 inches), and setting them in concrete to reach stable soil below the active zone. We also use gravel at the bottom for drainage to reduce future movement.

High heat and direct sun cause wood to dry out and warp. We recommend using pressure-treated pine with a high-quality UV-resistant stain, or switching to cedar, which has natural oils that resist cracking. For the longest lifespan, consider composite fencing from brands like Trex – it won't warp or rot, and it holds up well to Texas weather.

Look for multiple leaning posts that you've already tried straightening, widespread rot at the base of posts, or boards that are splitting beyond repair. Also, if the fence is over 15-20 years old and the wood is brittle, replacement is often more cost-effective. We can inspect your fence and give you an honest assessment – sometimes a few post replacements and new boards are all you need.
