Carlito's Lawn | Reliable Commercial Fencing in Providence, RI

Providence's heavy clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, which can loosen fence posts over time. At Carlito's Lawn, we often see this issue combined with rot from wet winters. Our solution involves setting posts in concrete footings to stabilize them, and we check for proper drainage to prevent future shifting.

Look for loose or missing boards, posts that wobble when pushed, rusted nails, or gaps at the bottom where soil has eroded. Snow and ice can also cause splits in wood. Carlito's Lawn inspects fences in Providence neighborhoods like Mount Hope and Elmhurst, and we recommend repairs early to avoid costly replacements.

Tree roots often lift concrete footings or push fence panels out of alignment. We first assess the root system and may trim roots safely without harming the tree. Then we reset the posts with deeper concrete bases or install adjustable brackets to accommodate future root growth. Our masonry team also repairs any cracked concrete around the posts.
