In our area, the main cause is the combination of sandy soil and high winds. Sandy soil doesn’t hold moisture well, which can lead to dry rot, while strong gusts can loosen posts over time. Dan uses pressure-treated lumber set in concrete to prevent leaning and decay, extending the life of your fence.

Look for sagging, difficulty latching, or scraping against the ground. These signs often mean the hinges are worn or the post has shifted. Dan can reinforce the gate with heavy-duty hinges and adjust the post to restore smooth operation, keeping your property secure.

Proper grading and drainage keep water away from fence posts, reducing rot. Dan can install gravel beds or French drains along fence lines, and choose native plants that don’t crowd or damage the structure. This keeps your fence looking good and lasting longer.
