Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fence post erosion in Elgin, TX?
Elgin's soil, often expansive clay, can shift with moisture changes, causing fence posts to loosen. Poor drainage or improper installation can accelerate erosion. Our team identifies soil conditions and installs posts with concrete or gravel bases to prevent movement.
How can I tell if my fence posts are unstable due to soil movement?
Look for leaning posts, gaps between the fence and ground, or gates that drag or stick. In Elgin, these are common after heavy rains or drought. If you notice any of these signs, call C&I Landscaping for a free inspection and repair estimate.
What is the best solution for fence post instability from soil movement?
The most effective solution is to re-set posts with a deep concrete footing that extends below the frost line and into stable soil. For active soil, we may use helical piers or gravel backfill. We also recommend weatherproofing and regular maintenance to extend fence life.
