CRS Construction Resource Solutions: Experienced Commercial Fencing Serving McAllen, TX 78501

McAllen's soil is high in clay content, which expands when wet and contracts when dry. This constant movement can loosen standard fence posts over time, causing them to lean or shift. CRS Construction Resource Solutions solves this by digging deeper post holes and setting posts in reinforced concrete footings that reach below the active soil layer, providing a stable base that resists movement.

Look for visible cracks in the concrete or mortar around the posts, gates that no longer latch properly, or sections that appear misaligned or leaning. You may also notice rust or broken decorative elements if the ground has shifted enough to stress the metal. If you spot these issues, CRS can assess the damage and recommend repairs or replacements that account for McAllen's soil conditions.

We use a combination of deep concrete footings, often 24 to 36 inches deep, and high-quality treated lumber or metal posts. For areas near La Plaza Mall or in neighborhoods with heavy clay, we also add gravel drainage at the base to reduce moisture buildup. This method prevents frost heave and soil expansion from compromising your fence, keeping it level and secure for years.
