Bluegrass Fence: Best Fence Installation Serving Somerset, KY 42501

Somerset’s heavy clay soil expands when wet and contracts during dry spells, which can literally push wooden or metal posts out of alignment. Bluegrass Fence addresses this by setting posts below the frost line and pouring a broad concrete base that distributes the soil’s pressure evenly. We also use galvanized brackets and pressure-treated posts to resist rot and corrosion. This method keeps your posts upright whether you live near South Highway 27 or the Lake Cumberland shoreline.

Yes, Somerset’s humid summers and frequent rain can cause ground-contact rot, especially if posts are set directly in the soil. The signs are soft, discolored wood near the base and a musty smell. Bluegrass Fence solves this by using concrete anchor systems that keep the wood elevated above the ground and away from standing moisture. For new installations, we recommend pressure-treated pine or cedar, and we seal all cut ends to prevent water wicking.

Absolutely. We carry a wide range of matching lumber and hardware to repair gates damaged by high winds or falling branches. The most common issue after a storm is a broken hinge or a sagging frame. Bluegrass Fence can replace damaged sections, re-hang the gate on heavy-duty hinges, and reinforce the frame with diagonal bracing. We respond quickly to properties in Somerset, from the Oak Hill neighborhood to businesses along the bypass.
