Fencing Company Fort Walton FL | Call CT Lawn Care

Storms in Fort Walton bring heavy rain and strong winds, which saturate the sandy soil around fence posts. When the soil is wet, it loses its grip on the post, allowing it to shift. Additionally, wind pressure on the fence panel can rock the post back and forth, widening the hole and causing the post to rock. Over time, this movement loosens the concrete or dirt that holds the post in place, leading to instability.

Look for visible gaps between the post and the ground, a fence that sags or leans to one side, and any wobble when you push the top of the post. If the post moves more than an inch or if the concrete footing is cracked or broken, the post needs professional attention. Catching these signs early prevents the entire fence from collapsing.

Overhanging tree limbs can drop heavy branches or debris onto your fence during a storm, adding stress to already loose posts. CT Lawn Care’s tree trimming and limb removal reduces this risk by eliminating dead or heavy branches near your fence line. By clearing these hazards, we help prevent the impact that could break fence panels or further loosen unstable posts. This combined approach keeps your fence and yard safer.
