Cariker | Best Fence Installation in Amarillo, TX

The main cause is the expansive clay soil common in Amarillo. When it rains, the soil swells; when it dries, it shrinks. This constant movement loosens the grip around standard fence posts, especially if they weren’t set deep enough or with concrete. Over time, the posts shift, and strong Panhandle winds can blow the whole fence over. Cariker solves this by digging deeper holes and pouring concrete footings that extend below the frost line, anchoring the posts in stable ground.

Look for gaps between the fence panels and the posts, or a noticeable lean in one direction. You might also see cracks in the concrete around the base of the post or hear squeaking when the wind blows. If the top of the fence wobbles when you push it, the posts have already started to fail. Cariker recommends catching this early—before a windstorm does the damage for you—so we can reinforce the posts and save the fence.

Yes. Sinking concrete is often caused by the same soil movement that affects fences. If your patio is pulling away from the house or has a low spot near the fence, we can lift and level it using a concrete mudjacking process or replace the slab with proper base preparation. We also make sure the new concrete ties into your existing fence posts securely, preventing future separation. It’s a common fix in Amarillo homes, especially in older neighborhoods like San Jacinto.
