Better Built Fence: Top-Rated Commercial Fencing Serving Georgetown, KY 40324

The main cause is the region's heavy clay soil, which expands when wet and contracts when dry. This freeze-thaw cycle, common in Central Kentucky, can push fence posts out of alignment, especially if they aren't set deep enough. Better Built Fence addresses this by setting posts below the frost line and using concrete anchors to prevent shifting, keeping your fence stable year-round.

Look for leaning posts, gaps between fence panels, or gates that stick or won't latch properly. In Georgetown, you might also notice cracks in the soil near the base of posts or a wavy appearance in the fence line. Better Built Fence can inspect these issues and reinforce or replace posts as needed to restore your fence's integrity.

They use a two-step solution: first, they remove the affected post and dig a wider, deeper hole to reach stable soil. Then, they set the post in concrete with gravel at the bottom for drainage, preventing water from pooling around the wood. This approach stops future shifting and extends your fence's lifespan, even in Georgetown's freeze-thaw cycles.
