Q&A
What causes wooden fence posts to rot so quickly in Memphis, and how can you fix it?
Memphis's humid subtropical climate and frequent rain create ideal conditions for moisture to seep into untreated wood, leading to rot and decay. Signs include soft, crumbly wood near the ground or leaning posts. Our solution involves replacing rotted sections with pressure-treated or cedar posts, setting them in concrete with proper drainage, and applying a weather-resistant sealant. We also check your lawn's grading to prevent water pooling near fences.
My gate is dragging on the ground and won't close properly. What's the likely problem?
A sagging gate is often due to loose hinges, a warped frame, or settlement of the gate post. In Memphis, soil shifting from heavy rains or freeze-thaw cycles can cause posts to lean. We inspect the hinges and post alignment, tighten or replace hardware, and if needed, re-set the post with gravel and concrete for stability. For metal gates, we check for rusted hinges or bent tracks. We'll have your gate swinging smoothly again.
Can you repair a chain-link fence that has a large hole from a fallen tree branch?
Absolutely. Storm damage is common in Memphis, especially near areas like Shelby Farms or along the Wolf River. We remove the damaged section, straighten the frame if bent, and weave in new chain-link fabric using tension bars and ties. If the terminal posts are bent, we replace them with galvanized steel set in concrete. We also inspect the entire fence line for hidden damage to prevent future issues. Your yard will be secure again.
